Mini Maiden’s cross

On April 9, June 26 and July 29 1871 a total of 2992 "Merit Cross for Woman and young Woman" were
awarded by Queen Agusta of Prussia to recognize the contributions made by woman and nurses for
caring for the injured in the war of 1870.

Fullsized crosses are hard to find and usually command a pretty fair price.
