WW1 “dog tag” Military reuse of India Delhi Durbar medal engraved with a German name so ? German East Africa
Rupee size Cu-Ni medal given to School children in India struck at Bombay and possibly at Calcutta as well
Puddester 911.2.5 listed as silver but we believe all are made of Cu-Ni
The small hole is original so it could be worn.
The name Kalla is of German origin so I suspect it is a reuse of the medal with the King and Queen’s portraits erased (making it appropriate for German use)
There was a large Indian presence in German East Africa.
This is a most unusual object.
