A commemorative military commemorative coin of 1863 for non-combatants from 1813 to 1815, together with a commemorative coin for soldiers, was presented on March 17, 1863 by King of Prussia William I. The king wanted... " give warriors from glorious campaigns..." against Napoleon... " a new sign of Our and Fatherland..."
The foundation was created in honor of the 50th anniversary of the call of Frederick William III "To my people" by William I. Numerous patriots of Prussia responded to this call, and it became the beginning of active resistance to Napoleonic foreign domination in Prussia. Participants in the Liberation Wars of 1813-1815 were awarded military commemorative coins of the corresponding years during these years and 50 years later had the right to receive a commemorative commemorative coin if they were still alive. Similarly, it was decided that the still living ladies of the 1813/15 Order of Louise should be awarded a commemorative coin. This was given on a white and black ribbon in polished steel. Military commemorative coin for non-combatants is much less common than for fighters, and, accordingly, more expensive.
A round medal made of blackened iron with a raised edge, a soldered grooved ear with a ribbon ring on top.
