The Lusitania Medal is a notable piece of WW1 propaganda, originally created by a German artist named Karl Goetz in 1915. It commemorates the sinking of the RMS Lusitania, a British ocean liner, by a German U-boat on May 7, 1915. The attack resulted in the deaths of 1,198 civilians, including 128 Americans, and significantly influenced public opinion against Germany, especially in the United States.

This is an exact REPLICA medal, complete in original box including original paperwork certificate which gives more detail on the backstory. The paper certificate is quite fragile so please take care when unfolding it. But all the words on it are clear. The box edges show some wear, however inside the lid the paper description is clear and in good condition. The medal itself is in excellent condition on both sides too, though the liner for the cutout does show some spotting. Though this is only really visible when you take the medal out.
