Title Atjeh Campaign (1873-85) miniature medal
Nationality Dutch
Period 1885
Sold

The Atjeh Campaign took place in Indonesia and was fought to suppress a rebellion against Dutch rule. Atjeh was a province of Dutch East Indies with a largely Muslim population, famous more recently for suffering high casualties in the 2004 tsunami.

The condition is excellent, although the ribbon is somewhat scruffy and faded. The medal measures 20mm across and is made of unhallmarked silver.

Yes, arrived safe and sound, very nice, and very interesting. Have a couple of friends in the States slavering over the pictures, one of them loves searching old lists, etc. If I can tie it down more definitely will let you know.
