German Awards - King Albert Silver Agricultural Merit Medal (Wearable)

Medals for merit in the field of agriculture were first awarded around 1838 with the image of Frederick Augustus II. in gold, circulation 3 pieces, in silver, circulation 32 pieces, and in bronze, circulation 12 pieces, awarded.
The 2nd form of medals was awarded with a portrait of King John. Shown here 3. On the front side is a portrait of King Albert. The front side stamp was created by Bardulek in 1874. The reverse stamp was taken from previous medals and taken from Karl Reinhard Krueger. The golden step (50 mm) was awarded only 1 time. Silver and bronze medals are 52 mm in diameter. The weight of the silver medal is about 72-74 g, the bronze - about 76 g. All medals until then were non-removable and had on the front side the manufacturer's designation - M.BARDULECK FEC. Wearable medals were then issued in reduced form in silver and bronze. Whether these medals were issued along with the untouchables, I could not determine.
