    This looks like a Franz Josef Medal with a Bulgarian ribbon. Correct me if I am wrong please.

      The ribbon actually looks like a faded Hungarian long service ribbon from the regency period (1919-1944).

      The medal is the Signum Memoriae, the commemorative medal for the 50th anniversary of Franz Josef's reign, issued in 1898.

        BTW, the ribbon is probably rarer than the medal.

          Thanks SOOOOO much for the info. The back of the ribbon is somewhat greener and redder than the front. The original owner apparently wore them quite a bit.
