German Awards - Silver Medal "For Merit in the Field of Art and Science" 1905

During the reign of Duke Charles Edward, the medals for merit in the field of art and science were again revised in March 1905. The new stamp is at the Kawaczynski medalist. This award was expanded on February 2, 1907 with a gold medal (silver gilded) and a crown award. The medals were manufactured by Chr. Lauer in Nuremberg. The 1st coinage was a medal without a laurel wreath as a wreath. When awarded with a 3-gear (wall) crown as the highest tier, the latter was firmly attached to the upper edge of the medal. The crown is 7 mm tall and has a wide horizontal ear on its smooth back. On the front side next to the head of manufacturers M.v.Kawaczynski. The 2nd stamp was put at the disposal of March 10, 1911. This medal is now further limited to a laurel wreath, which encapsulates the previous medal, which also includes a wide transverse ear. The rear was also redesigned. On the front side now appears the manufacturer L.Chr.Lauer, Nürnberg is small in chest section. Source: J. Nimmergut, Deutsche Orden und Ehrenzeichen bis 1945, vol. III, 1999.
