Medal for the Macedonian Struggle

The Commemorative Medal for the Macedonian Struggle 1903–1909 (Greek: Αναμνηστικόν Μετάλλιο Μακεδονικού Αγώνος 1903 - 1909) was a campaign medal established by the Second Hellenic Republic in 1931 and awarded to participants of the Macedonian Struggle.

The medal was established with Law 5168 of 1931, which also regulated the issuing of pensions and benefits to the fighters of the Macedonian Struggle and their children.

[1] The medal was issued in three classes:[2] The obverse of the medal features the head of Alexander the Great, surrounded by the legend ΜΑΚΕΔΟΝΙΚΟΣ ΑΓΩΝ 1903–1909 ('Macedonian Struggle 1903–1909').

The obverse features a phoenix rising from its ashes, used as a national emblem by the Second Hellenic Republic and retained after 1935 by the restored Greek monarchy.

The legend of the obverse was originally ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΗ ΔΗΜΟΚΡΑΤΙΑ ('Hellenic Republic') with the date 1931, but was changed to ΒΑΣΙΛΕΙΟΝ ΤΗΣ ΕΛΛΑΔΟΣ ('Kingdom of Greece') with the date 1936 after the restoration of the monarchy.
