A rare complete set of these WWI-era Austrian commemorative medals, which are in excellente condition overall, generally 'As struck'. These iron medals were produced and sold for war relief efforts during a time of metal conservation, making them both historically significant and representative of wartime austerity measures.

This represents an uncommon opportunity to acquire a complete set in its original presentation case, as these medals were often separated or lost over the past century.
