The obverse of the star contains the Sultan Abdul Mejid's royal cipher which is surrounded by an inscription on a gold-bordered circle of red enamel; on a star of seven triple quills with small crescents and five-pointed stars between them; suspended from a red enameled crescent and star suspender with green enameled edges.
Medjidie or Mejidie (Turkish - Mecidiye Nişanı, August 29, 1852-1922) is the name of a military and knightly order of the Ottoman Empire that was instituted in 1851. The decoration was issued by Sultan Abd-ul-Mejid I and he personally presented this decoration in considerable numbers to members of the British Army, Royal Navy and the French Army. This was his chosen method to recognize their distinguished service in providing aid to the Ottoman Empire during the Crimean War against Russia
