Rare 19th Century Prussian General Medal of Honour Miniature Medal.

The Prussian silver miniature medal of the General Honour decoration 2nd class. Awarded from 1814 until 1918. It has the cypher of Kaiser Frederick William III of Prussia on the obverse and on the reverse 'Verdienst Um Den Staat' (Merit to the State). All German miniature medals are scarce, as they were smaller and usually worn on a neck chain. This one is in excellent condition and on its original silk ribbon.
