<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 1871136, member: 39&quot;]The &quot;woman warrior&quot; is Germania, and the background is <a href="https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedrichsruh" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedrichsruh" rel="nofollow">Friedrichsruh House</a>. (German page; the English page has hardly any info/images.) Bismarck got that, as a donation, from the Prussian king and German emperor Wilhelm I, in 1871. He lived there from when he retired (1890) until he died (1898), and the medal, by Otto Oertel, was issued roughly in the middle of those years. Guess that such designs were popular roughly 120 years ago. Next year the Federal Republic of Germany will issue a Bismarck collector coin; whether his portrait will feature such a hat is not known yet. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
