1812 Overture Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Gentlemen, I won this medal by chance during the Chinese New Year. I only know that he is Saxony, maybe it is the Saxon-Coburg-Godda Principality? Because I turned over the information I could find, there was only a medal similar to me on Emedal. So I want to ask everyone to help me see, this is the medal of the period, I have never seen him in the order bar. It is large and heavy. Is this privately cast? Please tell us what you think, thank you. I quietly called him "Saxon Cookies" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So is this medal rare? Do you know the price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beau Newman Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 These early merit medals of the Ernestine Order are pretty scarce (probably just a few dozen awarded for many of them). However, the collector demand isn't that strong. The current OEK has it at 530 Euros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VtwinVince Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Correct, that is a scarce one, and it appears to be an award piece with the Stempelschneider's name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also saw this book, but he only sent Germany. I have found that sellers in Germany and Austria often only send their own country, and although I like them the most, their service attitude often makes me sad. On the contrary, Slovenia, Croatia, the Czech Republic, the former Austrian-Hungarian constituent countries have a much better service attitude, and there are very few cases where there is no reply to the mail.
