MEGA RARE 1897 GERMAN PURE SILVER MEDALLION COIN OF WILHELM DER GROSSE - DEUTSCHER KAISER FRONT SIDE

BACK SIDE

NATIONAL DENKMAL FUR KISER WILHELM 1 ZU BERLIN

ENTHUELT ZUM 100 GEBURTSTAGE

D 22.MABRZ 1897

The Imperial German 1897 Kaiser Wilhelm I Birthday Medal was unofficially struck to honor the 100th Birthday of Kaiser Wilhelm I as a civilian response to the establishment of the Prussian 1897 Centenary Medal, which was officially authorized on 22 March 1897. The recipients had to purchase their unofficial medals

This very thin medal is about 3cm wide and made of a silver alloy similar to coin silver. The obverse shows a raised relief profile portrait of Kaiser Wilhelm I

There are no hallmarks. It's interesting to note that there are no Prussia references associated with this medal, only Imperial German. Single examples of this medal typically sell for about €50 in Germany (more than the official issue!), but are not often encountered. They are sometimes found with groups of official &/or unofficial medals but (when found) are most often located as loose examples mixed in with jewelry or coins

How did you determine that this is "pure" silver? Does that mean that it is .999 pure or what?

Apr 29th, 2011 at 10:43:55 PM PDT by

There are no hallmarks on it none of them,are made with hall marks, it was only give to people of the miltary of the time and displayed along side other war metals, i was told its pure silver from the assay office
