The Turkish Crimean War Medal (Turkish: Kırım Harbi Madalyası) is a campaign medal issued by Sultan Abdulmejid I of the Ottoman Empire to allied military personnel involved in the Crimean War of 1854–56. It was only awarded to those who survived the war and not to next of kin.[1] There are three different issues of this medal for British, French, or Sardinian personnel.[2] The medal was designed by James Robertson.
British recipients also qualified for the British Crimea Medal.
