Here is my 1897 Kaiser Wilhem medal also called the “Zentenarmedaille” or “Apfelorden.” Founded by Kaiser Wilhelm II on 22.3.1897 and given to all active duty troops, veterans of the unification wars, etc. in honor of the 100th birthday of his grandfather, Kaiser Wilhelm I. The medal, designed by Professor Walter Schott and produced at L. Ostermann, Berlin, was made of captured French cannons from the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71. Private purchase examples are common as well.
