I've always liked this portrait of Dona but don't know the painter nor have I seen it in colour.  Can anyone help with either?

I think it might be Lenbach. I know I've seen it somewhere before.

I think so too. It is very much Lenbach's style. Don't know if it survived the war ?

Hnadtinted illustration? I thought that it was a handtinted photo. It looks quite realistic!

agree, Dona's appearance is quite accurate and hence feels like a photograph that has been colored. The title reads:

The people certainly thank you.

Which is obviously a line being delivered by Dona to the soldier.

Her profile is quite nice. Statuesque and regal. I always liked the way she had her hair done when she wore a tiara; nicely integrated. Most people through her under the bus because of her not so nice encounters with her mother in law, but fair is fair and I think Dona looked wonderful as Kaiserin, especially in her later years, 1900-1914. She and Victoria Luise were a great looking mother-daughter combination and each benefitted by borrowing a bit of youthful (from VL) and a bit of mature (from Dona) style that really worked well.

the coin says:

side one: Augusta Victoria, Empress and Queen

side two: For 25 years of faithful service for the Red Cross.

the coin must have been presented in by the Elberfeld chapter in 1915 in the midst of WWI. Elberfeld is a town near Wupperthal in the Ruhr Valley. Very industrial.

Here, Dona is featured much thinner than images of her in former times. By this time--probably around 1917--clothing styles had changed dramatically and the sleeker, less fambouyant outfit does her quite well. She looks very elegant.
