Summary/Abstract: The authors continue the exhaustive presentation of the medals and decorations stored in the Institute’s Numismatic collection with a small group of five awards. The first three medals are very rare and belong to the Second French Empire, illustrating Napoleon III’s ambition to play a major role in European and world politics. The other two pieces (one Serbian and one French) can be linked with the Balkan War of 1912-1913 and its subsequent cataclysm - “the Great War for Civilization”.
