The Battle of Mühldorf, fought on October 25, 1322, decided the Habsburg-Wittelsbach struggle for the German kingship when Ludwig IV captured his rival Frederick the Fair. This piece commemorates the 1922 sexcentenary celebrations that the Nazi regime later appropriated as a propaganda touchstone — the 1940 reissue date is not coincidental, falling squarely within the period of German military triumphalism following the Fall of France.
The silver-plated copper-nickel construction identifies this immediately as a reproduction rather than a period medal, almost certainly issued for a Party-affiliated commemorative program.
