Imperial Germany - Grand Duchy of Hesse:
WW1 Medal of War Merit.
The medal was instituted in 1916 initially in
bronze and since May 1918 in bronzed zinc
(due to war shortages).
It was awarded for war merit to those that
wouldn’t qualify for higher bravery and
military awards (such as the General Medals
for Bravery and War Merit, the Cross of Merit
for Military Medics etc).
Despite its small size (diameter 25 mm), this
is a full size and not a miniature or a reduced
size medal.
