Sehr seltene Medaille mit Abbildung einer sauber plastisch herausgearbeiteten Danziger Kogge, darunter emailliertes Rotes Kreuz. Durchmesser ca. 25 mm, mit Anstecknadel. Die Medaille wiegt 7,5 Gramm, für die Größe also verhältnismäßig schwer. Möglicherweise Silber, jedenfalls antimagnetisch.

I would be interested in knowing any (or, really, all) of the following:
- What is it?
- What is a "Kogge"? Some kind of ship?
- When was it made or awarded?
- What for?
Thanks in advance for your help or ideas.
