Great Britain, steel restrike of a German propaganda medal commemorating the sinking of the Lusitania in 1915. 76.1 grams. Common but popular medal made by the British in near-exact replication of a prior German medal originally meant to scold the British for sailing the Lusitania with innocent passengers under German warnings that she would be sunk, yet turned into anti-German propaganda by the British restrike, this example typically rusty on high points but otherwise perfect.
