Product Information
Specification
Greece: Commemorative military medal for the 
2nd Balkan War against Bulgaria in 1913. 
With the heads of the Byzantine Emperor 
Basileios II "the Bulgar Slayer"
(because of his victory against Tsar Samuel) 
and Constantinos I King of the Helenes. 
The medal was instituted in 1914 and is signed 
by Georgios Iakovides. 
During the 1st Balkan War (1912-1913) the 
Alliance of the Christian States (Greece, 
Bulgaria, Serbia, Montenegro) of the Balkans, 
managed to liberate the remaining Christian 
populations of the Peninsula, from the Ottoman
Empire. The 1st Balkan War ended with the 
Treaty of London but less than 1 month later 
(June 1913) the Bulgarian Forces attacked the 
Greek Forces North of Thessaloniki in a failed 
attempt to seize the city and gain access to the 
Aegean Sea. 
The counter attack of the Greek Army pushed 
the Bulgarian Forces deep into their own country 
and under the combined attacks of Serbia, 
Turkey, Montenegro and Romania, Bulgaria 
forced to ask for terms. 
The armistice was signed on 31 July 1913. 
Bulgaria lost almost all its territorial gains 
from the 1st Balkan War to Greece while the 
borderline was drawn to its current position.
