Military Medal 091822.jpg Reverse Military Medal 091822.jpg

Brutal day! As in not many finds to report. However, I did pull up this little beauty.

Appears to be a Spanish Military Medal dated 1873.

Obverse: Campana de Cuba.
Reverse: Espana. Al valiente ejercito que pelea en defensa de la patria.

My spanish is very rusty but loosely "To the army that fights in defense of the homeland." Cuban Campaign?
