  • NZ Medal 1861-66 (pewter alloy plated) - Full size

The New Zealand Medal was a campaign medal awarded to Imperial and Colonial troops in the New Zealand Wars of 1845–47 (and for 1848) and 1860–66.
Sometimes referred to as the Māori Wars, Anglo-Māori Wars or Land Wars. Imperial forces included British Army, Royal Navy and Royal Marines.

The Colonial militia were recruited locally or in Australia, and included mobile forces like Von Tempskys Forest Rangers and the Arawa Flying Column from a Māori tribe for the guerrilla war in the New Zealand bush.

The medal was authorised in 1869 for award only to survivors.Colonial militia claimants had to prove that they had been under fire. Claims from colonial forces were closed in 1900 but reopened in 1910 and 1913 in association with land claims for service in the war. Claims were finally closed for Europeans in 1915 and Māori in 1916.
