Kong Frederik den VIII's Mindetegn

The Commemorative Badge for Frederik VIII (Danish: Kong Frederik den Ottendes Mindetegn) is a Danish decoration.

This medal was instituted on 29 July 1912 by King Christian X of Denmark and was awarded to military personnel who stood guard at the King’s funeral and during the transport of his remains. Another source identifies the 28 recipients as adjutants, serving or former chiefs of staff, and aides-de-camp.

The decoration took the form of an openwork silver monogram of the late King Frederik VIII of Denmark, worn on the chest beneath a silver royal crown. Twenty-eight examples of this decoration, intended for the military staff of the late monarch, were awarded. The decoration was fastened to the clothing with two clasps.

The monogram consists of two mirrored letters “F” intertwined with each other and with an “8”.

To indicate possession of this decoration, a red silk ribbon bar with a white cross woven into it was worn on the left breast.
