Kong Frederik den VIII's Mindemedaljen

The Commemorative Medal for Frederik VIII (Danish: Frederik VIII’s mindemedaille or Kong Frederik den Ottendes Mindemedalje) was instituted on 10 July 1912 by King Christian X of Denmark.

This Danish decoration was intended for military personnel who stood guard at the King’s funeral and during the transport of his remains. Sixty-nine medals were awarded.

The round silver medal has a diameter of 28 millimetres. The obverse depicts the late king with the inscription “FREDERICVS VIII REX DANIÆ”. The reverse bears a cross with the dates 3 June 1848 and 14 May 1912 within the customary oak wreath.

The medal, weighing 10 grams, was worn on the left breast, suspended from a red ribbon with a white cross woven into it. Medals attached to the ribbon with a clasp are also known.
