Lusitania Medallion

These iron medallions were issued by the British in a counter propaganda exercise roughly copying the German WWI issued medallion to celebrate the sinking of the Lusitania.
This example is complete with its original box in good condition and leaflet describing sinking and German medallions.
The proceeds of the sales at one shilling were handed to the St. Dunstans Blinded Soldiers and Sailors Hostel
