Hello Hans Kristian,

It's the WW1 Commemorative Medal for Hungary. It's just that the horizontal green stripes on the ribbon have been bleached out by ultra-violet exposure. (Green dye is very susceptible to this.)

Here are two examples of the medal:

The one on the left has a ribbon in excellent condition. The one on the right has a ribbon where the green is noticeably faded. And on other examples (like yours) the green can be indiscernible.

Best regards,
Tom
