    1. I really need some help with this medal:

       

      The Commemorative Medal for the 50th Anniversary of Defence or Tyrol of 1909 /// Tiroler Landesverteidigungs - Jubiläumsmedaille 1859 - 1909

       

       

      The size and weight is according to literature. I don't know is it from silver or any other metal, the detailed surface shape of the medal looks like it was molded ?!

       

      It also has a mark - punze on rim, which I can not read clearly. First letter is C ....

      I don't know maybe it's a mark COPY ??? Shape of the mark is just like for silver marks (dog head) but it doesn't looks like.

       

      Does anyone has this medal in his private collection?

      Any has a picture how the mark COPY looks like.

       

      I don't know if this medal which I have is a original or a copy.

      Please help.

       

       

       

       

       

    2. Let us solve this mark on Austro Hungarian medals - star * so called asterisk.

      What does this means?

      I have heard that medals produced at the end of war were made from war materials (tombak) instead of silver/gold and those medals where marked with star but I don't know if this is a fact or just rumors.

      I have seen mark star on medals like:

      - Order of Franz Joseph I. Knight's cross of the Order (3rd class)

      - Military Merit Cross 'Piis Meritis' (2nd class)

      Attached file (star) on my Piis Meritis medal.
