I'd like to elaborate this answer : According to Dr Kliethmann The cross with swords is awarded for combattant. The cross without swords and with "Kriegsverdienst" inscription on back side is the cross for "Verdienste im Kriege in der Heimat" (War merit toward homeland) The cross without swords and without any inscription on the back side is known as cross "f?r sonstige Verdienste " (for general merit)

Thank you ! Some explanations : This medal has been created on 1915, 15th August by Wilhelm-Ernst of Sachsen-Weimar-Eisenach (1901-1918). Awarded to womens who have served the State during the first Worl War. On the observe, we can see profiles of F?odora von Sachsen-Meiningen, wife of Grand-Duke Wilhelm-Ernst, and Maria Pavlowna Romanova, Grand-Duchess of Russia, and wife of Grand-Duke of Sachsen-Weimar-Eisenach Friedrich-Karl (1828-1853). In exergue, it's written ? FEODORA MCMXV MARIA PAVLOWNA MDCCCXV GROSSHERZOGINNEN V. SACHSEN ? (? FEODORA 1915 MARIA PAVLOWNA 1815 GRANDS-DUCHESS OF SAXONY ?). On the backside, we can see entwined letters ? FWE ? (? FEODORA ? and ? WILHELM ERNST ?), surpassed by the crown of Sachsen-Weimar-Eisenach. In exergue ? FRAUEN VERDIENST IM KRIEGE ? (? WOMENS MERIT IN WARTIME ?). The date of birth of the medal is also noted : ? XV AUGUST MCMXV ? (? 1915, AUGUST 15th ?). Best wishes (and I hope my english is not too bad...)
