WL 07-02-2024 Kriegs Verdienst WAR MERIT SILVER MEDAL "Imperial Prussian 2nd Class Military Honor Medal 1864"40MM 21.90 GRAMS SILVER. Here we have the 1864 version of the Prussian 2nd Class Military Honor Medal! It was awarded to military personnel for bravery acts from the rank of NCO and soldiers. The round shaped obverse features an intertwined and ornate “WR”, which is the crowned cypher of King Frederick William II. The reverse reads: “Kriegs Verdienst” (Military Merit) surrounded by a laurel leaf and berry wreath that is tied together at the bottom . In later years the medal changed again. The recipients of this medal were awarded this from 1864-1872 - based on a change in the medal appearance in 1873. Per Wikipedia:In 1864, King Wilhelm I reauthorized the Military Honor Medal for award with a redesign of the 1st class cross and a 2nd class medal. This came about at the same time as the higher ranking Military Merit Cross, a gold or silver gilt version of the same cross. This new authorization also changed the criteria of the medal, meaning it was no longer necessary to be awarded the 2nd class medal before the 1st class cross. The 1st class cross was still in the form of a silver cross pattée, but the design of the obverse and reverse medallion changed. The obverse now bore the inscription KRIEGS VERDIENST (War Merit) above a spray of laurel leaves, while the reverse bore the crowned cypher of King Wilhelm. The 2nd class medal was still in the form of a circular medal but also gained the updated obverse inscription KRIEGS VERDIENST, with its obverse bearing the crowned cypher of King Wilhelm.
