Yugoslavia: Medal for the Liberation of Northern Yugoslavia 1918-19. Very rare platinum-plated bronze medal (36 mm) created on October 10, 1939 and awarded to Yugoslavian soldiers and civilians that participated in the brief war between the new Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes and the new Republic of Austria Ref: Romanoff pp. The medal is also known as the Carinthian Campaign Medal because the conflict was fought over control over areas of Carinthia and Styria situated between the two countries. Hostilities began on November 23, 1918 and ended under Allied pressure on July 31, 1919. The medal was issued after the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes became the Kingdom of Yugoslavia; only a few thousand medals were awarded. This was the last campaign medal issued by Yugoslavia. Medal in extremely fine condition, with one tiny chip to platinum plating on reverse center; on original/old ribbon for civilians.
