Hans Lindl - 1914 Cast Bronze, uniface, incuse reverse, satirical medal, 69.0mm, 58.4g
A French coq, Russian bear, and British bulldog stand wounded and bandaged, the bear licking its wounds and the bulldog still dripping blood.
Lindl plays a word game here by spelling the term 'Dreiverbund' (alliance of three) with "Drei Verband". The word "Verband" is ambiguous, as it can also mean "dressing/bandage" or, "The Three Bandaged'
