well, of course it would be nice it were a rare piece (who am i kidding.haha) but i'm not holding my breath. something about the system on the reverse tells me it could be of austrian manufacture. just a gut instinct. here's another shot of the obverse:

Hiya Rick, that's why it's here. am hoping someone can enlighten us...it doesn't really matter if it is a rare piece or not. btw, the diameter is 43mm. the 'regular' EAK1 is 40-41mm.

Well, that was my first impression as well--the only thing is--the finish inside the oaks 'n crown is NOT brown, it's distinctly a black. i dunno? bastler? perhaps! it's a funky one, that's for sure!

Hello, here are the approximate dimensions of the first two orders: july monarchy: 60x42mm. restauration: 43x25mm.

Thank you gentlemen, I have a few more specimens that I will be happy to post. I'm not very well-versed on the different types of this wonderful order but I enjoy owning the ones that I have. Your insights are very much appreciated!
