By 1908 a total of 15 bars had been awarded with the Khedive's Sudan Medal, and it was therefore decided to institute an entire new medal, which was first issued in 1910. The medal was awarded in silver and in bronze, but bars were only awarded with the silver issue.
This medal was awarded to Captain T. M. Monk; it is not known in what campaign in the Sudan he fought. It is part of what the catalogue of the Watson Collection considers Group 6, but as it is not physically attached to the group it has been considered separately here. A further part of this group is considered previously. This medal was acquired with the rest of the group by Lester Watson at some point before 1928.CM.1494-20091accession numberCM.1494-2009141591priref141591Watson Catalogue358orderingM-0380previous object numberLW.0364durihttps://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/141591https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/141591Inscription in Arabicobverse[AHMED FUAD] / [1336]designLion facing right on shoreline with rising sun and palm-trees on far shore behind, standing on plinth bearing inscription; exergue of crossed spears behind shieldreversedesignreferenceagent-149638adlib-agent-1496387376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8The Fitzwilliam MuseumGiven by Lester Watson through Cambridge in America, 2009referenceagent-206432adlib-agent-206432e0b1da8e-f9e4-30be-9257-f82c89d45afbWatson, Lester200920092009givenon loan to the Fitzwilliam Museum 2005-2009191819181918191819211192119211921rulerreferenceagent-175022adlib-agent-17502206879d14-b037-399e-9c21-1c34ec312a28Fuad I (1917-36)artistreferenceagent-49647adlib-agent-49647e688ea06-c75c-3302-ab62-30516bf5f1e4Garbe, Richardmintreferenceagent-149658adlib-agent-1496584cb81521-c6ef-3826-8224-de2a104139c5Londonwith the title ofrulerreferenceagent-175023adlib-agent-175023075274b5-a1de-30ac-b928-130571b8c048[Ahmed Fuad]referenceterm-106216adlib-term-106216825b8379-ec94-388e-9a59-624e40c090d0Londonreferenceterm-39778adlib-term-397788bd60ed6-968d-3faf-8ad5-b4e4ee9bb245silverDiametermm36.5Weightg37.03referencemedia-116733adlib-media-1167339e08e248-f1e0-3caf-9be3-206ade154e98jpegcm/cm15/LW_0364d_281_29.jpg1heightpixels365widthpixels15016162691278361imagejpegcm/cm15/LW_0364d_281_29.jpg1heightpixels365widthpixels15016162691278361imagejpegcm/cm15/LW_0364d_281_29.jpg1heightpixels365widthpixels15016162691278361imagejpegcm/cm15/LW_0364d_281_29.jpg1heightpixels365widthpixels15016162691278361image0media
