The inscription on the obverse means „shahanshah-e anbiya muhammad“ means [„king of the kings of the prophets, Muhammad“] and on the reverse „nishan-e jaladat / har shir-del keh doshman-e shah ra ‘’inangereft / az aftab-e hemmat-e ma in nesahn gereft / fi sana 1263“ [„medal of bravery / any lion-hearted one who caught the rein of Shah’s foe / receives this medal from our luminous magnimity / Year AH 1263 / AD 1846/1847“].
There is no evidence of when the Medal for Bravery was established, but the oldest known pieces show the year AH 1253 [AD 1837/1838]. So it may have been instituted during the reign of Mohammad Shah Qajar (1808-1848, reigned since 1834). There are numerous editions with various years from AH 1253 [AD 1837/1838] until AH 1334 [AD 1915/1916]. The medal was awarded as a Large Gold Medal of 10 Toman, which is highly rare to find, a Small Gold Medal of 5 Toman and a Silver Medal. We do not know if all three classes exist in all known years. It seems that after the First World War the medal came into disuse.
