Austrian WWI era anti-Semitic/Italian Judas Iscariot/Jesus Judaica medal c.1915
Austria(?): Judas Iscariot/ Jesus medal (ND), circa. 1915; blackened bronze cast; not maker-marked; size: 61.75mm, weight: 73.45g. Obverse: 'Jewish-looking' Judas whispering to stern-looking Jesus; legend: "Judas Jscharioth". Reverse: 4-lined legend above coat of arms: "DEM ERZVERRÄTER AUS DEM HAUSE SAVOYEN" ['The Arch-Traitor from the House of Savoy']. May be a reference to Italy's Triple Alliance pact with Germany & Austria-Hungary which she did not honor when WWI broke out: under domestic pressure she did not join the war, and when fearing revenge she joined the allies (1915). In UNC; Kirsch-42.
