Germany Awards - Duke Charles Edward Oval Silver Medal with Crown

This medal was instituted on 10 March 1911 by Duke Carl Edward. This was probably due to the fact that the small medal of Charles Edward was confused with the medal for merit of the Order of Ernestine House, since the front sides were the same. On the model of the previous medals, an oval-shaped medal with a fixed crown was now created. The medals were made in Nuremberg. Another manufacturer was the order and military effect of the factory of Paul Meibauer from Berlin. He also made silver-plated medals. The Duke continued to award the medal after the 1 World War until 1935. This medal could also be awarded from 1915 with a silver belt for home merit in the war or with a clasp with swords and a date ribbon. In 1935, swords were installed on the ring. They were sandwiched between the crown and the medal and then soldered. Silver medals are worn on the rim with a silver stamp - 990 - and the manufacturer L.CHR.LAUER NUERNBERG. The extradition was undertaken by the court jeweller Ganssen, Coburg. Source: J. Nimmergut, Deutsche Orden und Ehrenzeichen bis 1945, vol. III, 1999.
