EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing iron commemorative medal, dated 1916, bears the inscription "Gold gab ich zur Wehr, eisen nahm ich zur Ehr" which translates to "I gave gold and was given iron in its place." The medal also includes the phrase "In eiserner Zeit - 1916" or "In iron time - 1916." During World War I, also known as the First World War or WWI, many countries issued commemorative medals as a way to honor their soldiers and remember significant events. This medal, made of iron, was likely given to German soldiers as a symbol of sacrifice and resilience. The inscription reflects the idea that war requires giving up valuable resources, such as gold, in exchange for something of greater importance, such as honor and duty. The iron medal's simple yet powerful design reflects the harsh realities of war and the determination of the German soldiers who wore it. The phrase "In eiserner Zeit" further emphasizes the idea of enduring hardships and persevering through difficult times. This historical artifact serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the First World War and the resilience of those who served. The iron medal's inscription and design offer a glimpse into the mindset of the German soldiers who wore it and the values they held dear during a time of great military conflict.
