Description: Very rare German light cruiser Canteen token of the H.M.S Dresden (His Majesty's Ship Dresden). This is a token for 100 pfennig, in aluminum. Diameter: 25mm. After searching in books and catalogs, and consulting with a collector friend of German Tokens (In Gundernhausen near Darmstadt) We came to the conclusion that it is a token from the German War Cruiser. Apparently very rare, there are no references to the tokens of this cruise. Its condition is good, without corrosion that affects aluminum. It is a token that was kept at the same time, probably due to its state in which it is observed. Probably at the time some German sailor tried to pay with this token in Valparaiso, or gave it to someone here. Ship sunk in Chile during the First World War:The British force composed of the cruisers HMS Kent, HMS Orama and HMS Glasgow surprised the HMS Dresden anchored in the Juan Fernandez archipelago (Battle of Más a Tierra), on March 14, 1915. Captain Lüdecke ordered the crew to disembark and prepare the sinking of his ship: Some members of the crew blew up the bow magazine and opened the bottom valves, then swam to reach the shore as the imperial cruiser began to sink at 11:35 am.
