The manufacturer (probably in Germany) hybrid the medal by enameling the shield on the medal. There are un-enameled medals on ebay at 30 or so dollars with no bids.
I dont think the hybrids are worth much more than the standard medals/tokens, just as (to me, anyway) the US commemorative coinage that's been fancied up with enamel decor isn't worth much more than standard issues, in my opinion.
I have some enameled commemorative coins and tokens and their value is associated with the commemoration, enameled or not.
Some might say enameled commemorative medals arent as valuable as the original issue.
This is somewhere between a semi-educated guess and answer.
