The military commemorative coin for 1814-1815 was officially donated in 1815 by Prince Gunther Friedrich Karl I von Schwarzburg-Sondershausen. Those soldiers of the Schwarzburg contingents who in 1814 and 1815 took part in the liberation war against France in a linear or landver battalion were awarded. The seal for the medal was made by Daniel Loos in Berlin. Existing stamps could not be used in Berlin. The design and supply was entrusted to Major General Lestock in Berlin. The first order was issued on April 22, 1818. On October 27, 1818, Loos delivered 712 medals from a newly made stamp. For participants in the campaign of 1815, it was supposed to use about 700 medals. The first were awarded and participants in hostilities. There is a second coinage of the medal in variable and sharper embossing. For this, new brands must be made. To award other participants in the 1814 campaign, about 200 more medals were required. This number is accepted for the 2nd embossing. The medal was not refundable. Whether a certificate of ownership was issued is unknown. Due to the small contingent, these medals are very rare.
