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.

Just letting you know that the whistle arrived here this morning safe and sound. Your excellent packaging was still totally intact and it took me all of five minutes to break into it to see my purchase. I am very pleased, it is a great whistle.
