Turkey Ottoman Empire Order of Glory Medal 1854 (Danube Campaign or Turkish General Service Medal)

Ottoman Empire (Turkey): Silver Medal of Glory, or 
Danube Campaign Medal or Turkish General Service 
Medal. 
Unnamed as issued.
Obverse: The tughra of Sultan Abdulmecid I (also 
known as Abdul Mejid I). Dated AH1270 (1853AD). 
Reverse: Inscribed in Arabic letters "Nishani Iftihar" 
(Order of Glory).
The medal was instituted in 1853 by Sultan Abdul 
Mejid I and was awarded for participation in the 
Danube Campaign, a prelude of the Crimean War. 
It was also awarded to participants of other 
campaigns where no specific campaign medals 
were struck. The medal is therefore sometimes 
referred to as the General Service Medal or 
Danube Medal. 
An early example on rarely seen original ribbon 
for "General Services".
