$4,450.00 AUD
Unit price /
Unavailable
A genuine artefact of Australia’s first naval victory, when HMAS Sydney defeated Germany’s SMS Emden in the Cocos Islands in 1914, the Sydney-Emden Medal is a great Australian rarity.
Of the 6,429 Mexican Silver 8 Reales found aboard the Emden, 1,000 were given to William Kerr jewellers to produce the Sydney-Emden Medal. A superb piece of military memorabilia, each silver dollar is adorned with the King’s Crown, united with scrolls inscribed ‘NOV 1914’ and ‘HMAS.SYDNEY.SMS.EMDEN’.
Those on board the Sydney at the time of the engagement received a medal, as did Cocos Islands staff, the Admiralty and several museums. With a tiny number available to collectors, the rare Sydney-Emden Medal is seldom seen on the market.
