Germany – 1916 – "Gold gab ich zur Wehr, Eisen nahm ich zur Ehr" – Medal by Kurt Hermann Hosaeus
Obverse: Inscription IN EISERNER ZEIT above. A kneeling woman facing right, holding a jewelry box in her left hand and offering a chain with a pendant in her right. Below: date 1916.
Reverse: Inscription in five lines: GOLD GAB ICH ZUR / WEHR EISEN / NAHM ICH ZUR / EHR. Below, oak leaves. At the bottom: HOSAEUS.
Historical Context:
Designed by Kurt Hermann Hosaeus (1883–1950), this medal belongs to the "Eiserne Zeit" ("Iron Time") series of World War I. In 1916, the German public was urged to donate gold and precious metals for the war effort, receiving iron tokens, medals, or rings in return. These symbolic pieces served both as patriotic statements and as reminders of personal sacrifice, with the slogan Gold gab ich zur Wehr, Eisen nahm ich zur Ehr ("I gave gold for defense, I took iron for honor") becoming widely known throughout the German Empire.
