Unknown Medal

[TerryK]

Hello

Received this in a box of WWII patches and money.
I have tried to look him up but with no success.
I know its dated June 1908 but I thought some one here
might know what its for. 34mm across and rim is 2mm thick

Thanks,Terry

It's a patriotic medal for the diamond jubilee of Franz Josef II.

Hi

Thanks for the information. I will have to look
him up on the net to find out more
about him.

Thanks,Terry

Hi

Could someone please translate what it says
under his bust? I am having a tough time
finding this medal listed anywhere. I have
found out that is a ribbon for female wear
so this must not be military related.

Thanks,Terry

It says "Kaiserjubiläumsfestzug" Juni 1908
with a onlinetranslator: Emperor's jubilee pageant

Hi

I want to thank you all for the information you have
provided me. I see mine also has the correct ribbon
in the female style of wear.

Thanks again.Terry
