The Duke Joachim Ernst Memorial Badge (German: Herzog Joachim Ernst Erinnerungszeichen) was created on 11 January 2021 by Eduard Prinz von Anhalt on the occasion of the birthday of his father Joachim Ernst, Duke of Anhalt (11 January 1901 – 18 February 1947), the last ruler of the Duchy of Anhalt. This way, the Duke Eduard commemorated the 120th anniversary of the birth of his father in 2021.[1] It is an award given by Prince Eduard, head of the House of Ascania. The Memorial Badge, presented on the occasion of the Prince's 120th birthday, can be obtained by people who have contributed in some way to preserving the memory of Duke Joachim Ernst.[2][3] Considering the small number of awarded badges, this is a rare award of the Anhalt's Ducal House.[4]
Appearance[edit]
The shape of the Memorial Badge takes the form of a 16-millimeter-high oval made of base metal. The obverse shows the conjoined letters "J" and "E" surrounded by a scrolled laurel wreath, and the reverse bears the dates 1901, 11 January and 2021.[2][5] The decorations were created by the jeweler according to historical designs and customs of the House of Anhalt.[3] A diploma (decree) was issued for each Memorial Badge. Such and similar memorial badges were and are dedicated to anniversaries of reigns and weddings in Princely and Royal Houses, as well as on occasions of special awards of special loyalty and, last but not least, to the birthdays of members of the royal, princely or grand ducal families. Nowadays, they are issued rarely and only in exceptional cases.[2]
