Henke Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 Anyone have any idea of what this is? I have no idea if its even from the period and the region. So sorry if its in the wrong section. Feel free to move it.
Guest Rick Research Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 This appears to be commemorating the death in 1406 of Count Gerard II (descendant of the Emperor by Salic Law, Conrad--but which one?), and his son Gerard of Alsace being named Hereditary Duke of Lorraine.

Naxos Posted October 15, 2007 Posted October 15, 2007 The year marked on the medal is MXXXXVI like Rick said: 1406 - I don't know if the medal was coined then or laterHardy
