This is an original Mother's Cross of Honor in Gold (EHRENKREUZ DER DEUTSCHEN MUTTER) with it's original ribbon and the original display box.

It is a full size medal.

Three classes of Mother’s crosses were awarded depending on the number of healthy children that the mother gave birth to. Each was of identical construction to the others with the exception of the background metal finishes:

• 3rd class awards in bronze were given for 4-5 children.
• 2nd class awards in silver were given for 6-7 children.
• 1st class awards in gold were given for 8 or more children.
