A splendid piece of die work is offered herein. On the obverse, a stern Teutonic eagle looks down upon a French coq, with the notation below ZXVI IN LUNEVILLE III APRIL 1913, signifying the arrival of Zeppelin XVI. The French and German legend around the two birds roughly translates to " it may be French earth, but it is German air." Reverse with the zeppelin and an early biplane above a field with several French foot troops and mounted troops below. Just how important is this medal? When Jay Roe sold his extensive and important zeppelin-related collection, this is the one rarity he chose to maintain in his holdings.
