Eric Stahlhut Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 hi all, at least that is how the seller decribed it. very well made, very large size, probably silver, no maker marks. can anyone provide formal name/ background details for it?

Dave Danner Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 To me, it looks more like a coin from Hessen glued to a simple cross like a Karneval decoration or a shooting society award, I don't have a reference handy for coins from the Grand Duchy, but a Google search finds several coins which look like that. If it's a coin, the obscured other side would have the date and denomination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Stahlhut Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 (edited) hiya dave, yes, it seems to be a kreuzer from the 1850's! it's not glued onto the cross, though, and the cross is of finer quality than your average karneval cross. if it were a shooting cross, there would be a space on the front for an engraved dedication, imo Edited February 26, 2015 by Eric Stahlhut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
