This is the medal for the Hungarian part of the Austrian empire when it became a separate country in 1918 at the end of WW1. It has the Hungarian coat of arms on the front, with St Stephen's crown above, and on the reverse a steel helmet with 'Pro Deo et Patria' (for God and country). It is a silver finish on base metal.
It has its original card box, which is damaged at the corners and at the hinge. However, it has a nice clean original ribbon and is in GVF condition with most of its dull tone silver finish.
