The China Medal (or China-Denkmünze in German) is a medal of the German Empire established on 10 May 1901 by Kaiser Wilhelm II, in his capacity as King of Prussia and German Kaiser.
There were 14 medal clips awarded for involvement in battles.
There were two versions of the China Medal: one in bronze and a variant in steel. Both measure 32.7 mm in diameter.
The bronze medal was rewarded for service by German troops and civilians during the Boxer Rebellion. The steel medal was awarded to those contributing to the war effort at home and the sailors of the merchant fleet transporting the soldiers to China.
The initial design came from Wilhelm II himself and was executed by professor Walter Schott. The medals were produced by the company Mayer & Wilhelm in Stuttgart.
