Described by seller as "medal in silver or white metal, approx 37mm diameter" appart from that not much known.

I liked it and bought it. Didn't know much about it, however apon reaserch found these:

What are your views of it?

Can anyone tell me anymore about it?

Regards,

Hus

It's different from coinarchives. Don't you think it's the copy or fantasy? How serious the seller is?

I received the medal today.

It is very nice with high reliefs. However it appears made in two parts, you can make out a slight join along the edge. Also were there is slight damage to the nose, right eyebrow and right hand side of the hat, the damaged area is shinny. I don't know what kind of metal it is but doubt it is silver. Maybe white metal.

The detail in the beard clothes hat and reverse is superb.

In all probability it is a copy of the gold original/s and if so I would say it is an older copy done 100+ years ago.

I might try to take clearer pictures.
