German Empire, WWI, Buttonhole Miniature - Eisernes Kreuz 1914. It is a multi-piece, die struck nickel-silver construction that has been soldered together, silver washed and black enamel painted. The obverse features a pattée style cross that has a centrally placed embossed “W” (cypher of King Wilhelm I & II), below the royal crown of Prussia (top arm) and above “1914” (lower arm), which is on a black base and surrounded by a silvered ribbed/beaded row and a flat outlying border. The fullback reverse is soldered to a ring and button hole device. The face measures 8mm wide and tall. Beautiful silver wash. Either way, a rare item.
