Copy of German original medallion - sinking of the Lusitania
This is a British strike of the German original medallion made to celebrate the sinking of the Lusitania by a German submarine on the 7th May 1915. 1951 passengers and crew were on board, of which 1195 perished. Public outrage of the sinking and civilian loss of life led to the British making iron issues of the German original. These were sold as propoganda and to raise War Funds. The medallion comes in a fitted box with an explanatory leaflet. Commemorative Ware
