In very good condition considering its age.
The ribbon is original and not a later creation!

The Hohenzollern Commemorative Medal for 1848-1849 Campaign was instituted by the King of Prussia: Friedrich Wilhelm IV on August 23, 1851 in association with the House Order of Hohenzollern. It was awarded to those officers and soldiers who remained loyal during the rebellions of 1848 and 1849.

A Hohenzollernsche Denkmünze für 1848-1849 was also awarded to Prussian troops for battles in Denmark in 1849 during the First Schleswig War. The Prussian army played a crucial role in suppressing not only the rebellions in Prussia but also in Baden and Saxony. Nonetheless, Prussia became a constitutional state in 1849.
