The Indian Mutiny Medal was established on August 18, 1858. It was awarded to the Officers, and other ranks of the British Army, the Royal Navy, and the Honourable East India Company Army who fought to suppress Indian rebels during the Indian Rebellion of 1857.

1. "DELHI"
2. "DEFENCE OF LUCKNOW"
3. "RELIEF OF LUCKNOW"
4. "LUCKNOW"
5. "CENTRAL INDIA"

Medals were generally officially impressed with recipient details when awarded to British troops, but medals awarded to Indian troops feature a wide variety of naming styles. There may be additional versions that differ in size.
