    Can someone tell me what the source was for the bronze used to strike the Centennar-Medaille in 1897? The award document states that it comes from "captured cannon", which I'm assuming was left over from the 1870 conflict.

    Got it in one :cheers: And probably leftovers from the Napoleonic Wars, second Danish War, and Austrian War, as KDM's were made from cannon from their own discrete wars. Maybe they were made so big to clear out old stock :lol:
