Footnote: The use of the German State Crown, which reflected the new German Empire, shows the rarity of this medal since there are only published examples of the 1st Type with the Empress Crown and the Prussian Crown. The Silver Ladies Merit Cross 1st Type was awarded 284 times (only 27 times with the Empress Crown). It is unknown how many times it was awarded with the German State Crown.
