Commemorates the accession of Prince Wilhelm of Wied to the Principality of Albania. The Prince was formerly appointed on 7 March 1914 but his tenure as Prince of Albania was shortlived. Following a revolt in May 1914 he left Albania, never to return on 3 September 1914, though still retaining his claim to the throne.
