Erindringsmedaljen for Krigen 1848-50 og Krigen 1864

The Commemorative Medal for the War 1848–50 and the War 1864 was a medal that could be applied for by those who had participated in the campaigns of 1848–50 and 1864 in either the army or the navy—that is, both the First Schleswig War and the Second Schleswig War; the First Schleswig War is also called the Three Years' War. The medal was instituted by Christian IX on 10 June 1875 and was administered by the Ministry of War. The Ministry of War's records indicated that 2,100 people were eligible for the medal, in addition to the 800 applications recorded by the Ministry of the Navy.

The medals were distributed in early 1877 to those eligible, who were extremely pleased with this token of recognition. On 11 March 1877, many satisfied medal recipients gathered at the Copenhagen Stock Exchange to show their gratitude to Christian IX. The assembled recipients chose a deputation, which was accompanied by 5,000–6,000 men to Amalienborg, where the deputation conveyed thanks on behalf of the assembled medal recipients. Christian IX then gave a speech to the crowd, which was answered with “Long live the King”, after which they dispersed.
