Obverse description		Depicts an effigy of Emperor William II facing left surrounded by his title in Latin. On his head, Wilhelm II wears a detailed Prussian Eagle helmet, which was worn as a parade helmet by the cavalry regiments Gardes du Corps and the Garde Cuirassier Regiment from 1890 onwards. It is decorated with the Prussian Garde Star and the crowned eagle. "Guilelmus II Imperator" in Latin means "William II Emperor" in English. William II (German: Wilhelm II, 1859–1941) was the last German Emperor (Kaiser) and King of Prussia, reigning from 15 June 1888 until his abdication on 9 November 1918. Acceding to the throne in 1888, he dismissed the chancellor, Otto von Bismarck, in 1890. He also launched Germany on a bellicose "New Course" in foreign affairs that culminated in his support for Austria-Hungary in the crisis of July 1914 that led in a matter of days to the First World War. An ineffective war-time leader, he lost the support of the army, abdicated in November 1918, and fled to exile in the Netherlands.
