4.Derece Mecidiye Nişanı4.Class Neck Badge Medjidie Gold & Silver
Medjidie or Mejidie (Turkish: Mecidiye Nişanı, August 29, 1852 – 1922[1]) is the name of a military and knightly order of the Ottoman Empire. The Order was instituted in 1851 by Sultan Abdülmecid I.[2]
Instituted in 1851, the Order was awarded in five classes, with the First Class being the highest. The Order was issued in considerable numbers by Sultan Abd-ul-Mejid I as a reward for distinguished service to members of the British Army and the Royal Navy and the French Army who came to the aid of the Ottoman Empire during the Crimean War against Russia. In Britain it was worn after any British gallantry and campaign medals awarded, but before the Turkish Crimean War medal. The Order was usually conferred on officers but a few enlisted soldiers also received it in a lower class. During World War I it was also awarded to a number of German and Austrian officers.
The Order was often conferred on non-Turkish nationals as well.
Established in 1852 by Sultan Abdulmecid I with seven-pointed star in silver and gold central medallion with the Sultan\'s tugra, surrounded by a red-enameled band with four cartouches containing the words Zeal, Devotion, Loyalty, and the year of its founding, 1268 a.h (1852 c.e.) Suspended from a red-enameled crescent and star device which hangs from a silver bail on a red moire silk red ribbon with mottled green and yellow borders.
