First World War, large bronze patriotic medal in high relief, by R. Küchler, 1915, soldier, with a melancholy expression, leading his horse past a cross adorned with a wreath, reverse widow seated to right, facing to left, her head bent down to read a book, 95mm. Extremely fine (£50-60)
The theme of this fine medal appears to be the high cost of victory. The circular field of the medal is used to particularly clever effect on the reverse creating an image full of dignity and pathos.
