Carlist Montejurra Medal, a military decoration instituted on 9 November 1873 by the Carlist claimant to the Spanish throne, Carlos VII (Carlos María de Borbón y Austria-Este), during the Third Carlist War.
The decoration was created to reward generals, senior officers, officers and soldiers of the Carlist Army who participated in the defence and victory at Montejurra (Navarre), during the fighting on 7, 8 and 9 November 1873 against government forces.
The Battle of Montejurra was one of the major Carlist military successes of the Third Carlist War and acquired considerable symbolic importance among the supporters of Carlos VII.
This example has been converted into a breast badge, with the original upper crown removed and the decoration adapted to be worn directly on the uniform rather than suspended from a ribbon.
