German Honours - Medal of the Order of the Crown 1888

The medal of the Order of the Crown was established on December 1, 1888 by William II. On this score there was only an oral order. The medal is not related to the Royal Order of the Crown and is therefore not part of the official Prussian order system. This award was awarded to lower court employees, civilians, and since 1889, foreign employees of lower ranks. In 1893, the award was extended to native civilians of German reserves for good service. Also, since 1906, young workers who did not have the right to be awarded the General Badge of Honor could be awarded the medal.
Two versions of the material are known: gold-plated copper and gold-plated fine zinc. Bronze variants are found with a broken crown and a separately made and subsequently deified crown. In fine zinc there is a variant with a relief open and a variant with a closed royal crown.
