saschaw Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 (edited) And remember, it's Baden DurlachWell, actually it WAS Baden-Durlach until 1771, when Baden-Baden's male line died out and had no more to reign it, then tey were united to Baden ... PS:The ribbon for the medal on the right isn't okay, and: is the medal silvered?! Edited May 2, 2007 by saschaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS:The ribbon for the medal on the right isn't okay, and: is the medal silvered?! Check the Regnal Chronologies. They aren't infallible, but according to them Baden-Baden went to Baden -Durlach in 1771. Krause's "World Coins" also liists 19th-20th century coinage as Baden-Durlach.Yup, wrong ribbon, but it just happened to be at hand. Not an original.Nope, not silvered, but white bronze. Never seen another like it, but the details are excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Y Posted May 3, 2007 Author Share Posted May 3, 2007 Seems to be interresting, I've also never seen a second one ...I tell a lie It is silver plated, but at a later date as the dings and scratches are silvered too.. The plating has deteriorated since the last time I looked closely at it and now the, what appears to be the early copper bronze is showing through. Here's a better scan next to a pure copper one. It's about 1/2 g. lighter than the copper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
