Commemorative Medal of the Partisans of 1941

is a commemorative Yugoslav medal instituted on 14 September 1944, awarded to those actively involved in leading the Partisan National Liberation Army or political units between 1941 and the end of World War II.

Between 1941 and 1945, the numbers of recorded active soldiers of the Partisan National Liberation Army fighting rose from 81,000 to over 800,000 across Yugoslavia.

This later model is made out of silver with gold-plated parts, and is worn on the left side of the blouse or coat pocket.
