Bulgaria Bronze Commemorative Medal for the Serbian Bulgarian War of 1885 for Non Combatants

Kingdom of Bulgaria: Silver Commemorative 
Military Medal for the Serbian-Bulgarian War of 
1885. Bronze example for non combatants. 
Issued by Prince Alexander I in 1885.
With the major battles of the War (Slivnitsa, 
Gorgulyta, Breznik, Dragoman, Caribrod, Pirot, 
Vidin) and the phrase: "The Country Thanks its 
Brave Sons" inscribed in Cyrillic on the reverse.
The War (14 - 28 Nov. 1885) was triggered 
following Bulgaria's unilateral declaration of 
annexation of the province of Eastern Rumelia. 
Serbia invaded Bulgaria but after initial success 
the Serb forces were repelled in defeat and only 
the diplomatic intervention (and threat of military 
intervention as well) from the Austro-Hungarian 
Empire kept the Bulgarian troops from invading 
Serbia.
The bronze medal is a lot rarer compared to the 
silver one for the combatants.
