Rare one of a kind Diamond Anniversary Bronze Medal given by Heinrich Ohlendorff to his wife Elizabeth in 1918. Handed down in the family and now up for sale by the grand daughter.

Heinrich Jacob Bernhard Freiherr von Ohlendorff (1836-1928) was a Hamburg merchant who was ennobled in 1873 and made a baron in 1889. In the second half of the 19th century, together with his brother Albertus, he became the largest guano importer in the German Empire.
