Awards of Germany - Commemorative military coin for 1808-1815

This award was established on November 15, 1831 by Prince Georg Wilhelm for the Principality of Schaumburg-Lippe. The right to receive was granted to all officers and soldiers who from 1808 to 1815 participated in military campaigns and served the prince and the fatherland with valor and loyalty. The Schaumburg contingent under Napoleon consisted of one company in the war against Spain. In the war against Russia in 1812 there were 2 companies. Since only a few citizens could claim this commemorative coin 16 years later, this medal is very rare. Exact award figures are not known.
