EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a German Medal commemorating Admiral Reinhard Scheer and the historic Battle of Jutland that took place on 31 May 1916. Crafted by Hugo Kaufmann, this metal medallion captures the essence of one of World War I's most significant naval battles. The obverse side of the medal features an impressive portrait of Grand Admiral Reinhard von Scheer, with a circular border inscription proudly proclaiming him as "Admiral Scheer Der Sieger vom Skagerrak" (Admiral Scheer the victor from Skagerrak). It is a testament to his leadership and triumph in this fierce confrontation. On the reverse side, we are treated to a dramatic scene depicting two cruisers battling against rough seas. Above them soars a zeppelin, symbolizing Germany's aerial dominance during this time. The inscription "Am Skagerrak 31. Mai 1916" further immortalizes this momentous event.
