Lot 1934 - world coins asia and middle-east - Stephen Album Rare Coins Numismatic Auction #18 TURKEY: Abdul Aziz, 1861-1876, AR medal, AH1285 (1868), NP-1108, The Cretan Revolt Medal (Girid Madalyasi), 1st issue, the tughra of Abdul Aziz above a double crescent / panoramic view of the island of Crete, the word "Girid" (Crete) below, with date AH1285 (1868) below, piecred as usual, with ring, loop and green and red ribbon which appears original, Fine to VF, R. Although uprisings among the Greek inhabitants of the island of Crete had been occurring for years, an outright revolt began on May 14, 1866, when a group of Greek citizens demanded lower taxes and changes in the court system. Although their demands were met, Ottoman troops were mobilized immediately, expecting outright rebellion. This became a self-fulfilling prophecy, and fighting broke out between Cretan Greeks and Turkish solders. Thousands of Greek volunteers arrived on the island from the mainland, and the Greek government appealed to the Western powers to intervene on their behalf. Britain and Austria, however, were opposed to intervention for the time being. Thus, the Ottoman armies achieved one of their most uncompromised victories of the century, settling the affair in 1869. The Empire was able to retain Crete in some form for another 43 years. The original ribbon color of this medal is believed to have been solid red.

Lot 1960 - world coins asia and middle-east - Stephen Album Rare Coins Numismatic Auction #18 TUNISIA: Ali III ibn al-Husayn, 1882-1902, Nichan Iftikhar order, Order of Glory (Nichan Iftikhar), Third Class (Commander) medal, ten-pointed silver star, alternate faceted arms with graduated chiselled rays between the arms, the face with a circular central green enamel medallion bearing the name ali in silver Arabic characters within a faceted silver border; the reverse with illegible stamp, with original ribbon, suspension loop, rosette and ring, of good quality, but likely local Tunisian manufacture, EF. This order was instituted in 1835 by Ahmad I ibn Mustafa, Bey of Tunis and reformed in 1857 by his successor Muhammad II ibn al-Husayn. It was effectively the National Order of Tunis from its foundation until its suppression after independence in 1957. The order essentially existed in two different models: the first awarded from its creation in 1835 and the second following 1859. Initially awarded in a single class, the order was reorganized and awarded in five classes following 1843 and expanded to six classes in 1882. This order could be awarded to people of French nationality, cities (such as Verdun), and other notable foreigners with some connection to Tunisia. It was given by the bey of Tunis on a proposal from the chief vizier for Tunisian subjects and, in all the other cases, on a proposal from the resident general of France (which occupied the de facto post of Foreign Minister of Tunisia at that time). Each bey put his monogram on the center of the decoration thus it is possible to determine the approximate award date of each order.
