Aschaffenburg in the house!

[Chris Boonzaier]

I just picked up these items.

The first seems super rare, non of the Aschaffenburg local collectors I know have ever seen it (which is strange), it is a medaillon commemorating the first 100 years of the Aschaffenburger Jäger. (although they did not spend the whole period in Aschaffenburg). in 1925 there were big ceremonies and this coin dates from then, but I assume not for everyone as most of the dadges are well known. The other one seems to be an Austrian one commemorating the fighting between the Germans and Austrians in 1866. The Jäger one is a gem for my collection, the other one pretty rare but not really my collecting field.....

Nice detail on the one to the left.

it is indeed superb.... when I look at modern military medals I wonder if the "fantastic design gene" has died out.....
