GERMANY, private medals
    Imperial Germany being a state that held the military in very high regard, and medals having become a fixture of military life in the 19th century, a bloom of civic and religious medals took place.  Anything became an occasion for a medal.  When was the last time you saw anyone get a medal for, say, schoolwork?  Now its more likely to be coupons for fast food, right?
