Imperial Germany - Prussia: Commemorative 
Cross for "Loyal Combatants" (Treuen Kriegern)
of the German Civil War in  1866.  
On rare original ribbon for award to a female 
recipient.
Made of bronze of captured Austrian cannons. 
The medal was instituted by King Wilhelm I in 
1866 following the victory of the Prussian 
Coalition in the War against Austria and its 
German allies. 
It was awarded to combatants, members of the 
Prussian Armed forces that were neither present 
in the Battle of Koniggratz, nor were part of the 
Army of the River Main.
The war was fought between the German Confe-
deration under the leadership of the Austrian 
Empire and its German allies on one side (Bavaria, 
Saxony, Wurttemberg etc) and the Kingdom of 
Prussia with its German allies (Mecklenburg, 
Oldenburg, Anhalt, Brunswick, Hanseatic Cities 
etc) and Italy on the other.
The War resulted in Prussian dominance over the 
German states.
In the Italian unification process, this is called the 
Third Independence War.
