Awards of Germany - Commemorative military commemorative coin of 1863 for fighters of 1813-1815

A commemorative military coin of 1813-1815 was established on March 17, 1863 by King William I. The commemorative coin was awarded to soldiers in bronze and heaven in blackened iron. The foundation was created in honor of the 50th anniversary of the call of Frederick William III "To my people" by William I.
Numerous Prussian patriots responded to this call, and it was 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.
