SHardy New Member Canada 2 Posts	Posted 03/07/2016 6:34 pm I am trying to identify this coin. The face side says... "Zur Erinnerung A D Kaisermanover Sept 1890" The Reverse says... "Wilhelm II Deutscher Kaiser Konig V.P.R." I did an online search but the results could not find anything in this style. I Also tried searching through a few online catalogs yet nothing seems to fit it. Report this Post to the Staff

cjweber Valued Member United States 311 Posts	Posted 03/07/2016 7:46 pm Wilhelm II had just finished a campaign in Africa quelling a revolt in 1889 and I believe this is a medal for participation in a military maneuver in 1890... but I am not an expert in this field... Report this Post to the Staff
Cameron K New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 03/07/2016 7:46 pm Manover means maneuver in German. Zur errinnerung means in remembrance of. It looks like a commemorative token of some military maneuver from 1890. Interesting piece! Report this Post to the Staff
Potsdam Valued Member Germany 303 Posts	Posted 03/08/2016 04:04 am Cameron is absolutely right. Around 1900, plenty of commemorative medals where minted on occasion of maneuvers. Some maneuvers were called 'Kaisermanöver' because the emperor, in this case Wilhelm II., was present when it took place. Very interesting piece of history. Best Report this Post to the Staff
