Ludwig Michael von Schwanthaler 1802-1848 - Sculptor

Designer of the Statue seen on the Obv. Statue of Bavaria to be seen in Munich on the edge of the Theresienwiese, incidently this is also home of the October Beer Festival. The statue was erected after his death in in 1850 and the medal was issued by King Ludwig the 1st to commemorate this event.

The statue is 18m high and made from bronze with a weight of 72 tons!

Medal by Birnbock, weight 30,4g Diameter 40mm. Gold plated Bronze, this one was up for auction in 1999 at a starting price of Euro 75.

Yours is not the Gold plated version and I am assuming it is probably Tin but can find no info on it. Does it have the name "Birnbock" under the bust?

I think it is tin, and yes it does have the name under the bust. Thank you very much for that information!

I had some other info on it before, but yours is very comprehensive so I don't think I need any more! Thank you.

If you want another German commemorative coin Oli, I have the most amazing 1871 Prussian Sieges Thaler. Deeply toned prooflike (or possibly even proof) surfaces and sharp devices. A wonderful example of a coin that is pretty common in average conditions.

£25 if you want it.
