    "Zand. v.m. Vater" - perhaps a name and rank ?

    "Kriegsjahr 1914/15" = War years 1914-1915.

    imho reads Zander (short for Alexander) von mir Vater (from my father)

    I didn't see it at first.

    imho short for : Am Liebsten = in honour - not sure if its for his father or the Emperor Kaiser Wilhelm II depicted on the coin, possible both of them.
