Ask for help, who knows this Saxon medal?

[1812 Overture]

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"

Dear friend, thank you very much for your help. So is this medal rare? Do you know the price?

[Beau Newman]

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.

Correct, that is a scarce one, and it appears to be an award piece with the Stempelschneider's name.

Dear Sirs, thank you.

Dear Sir, I also saw this auction today, which has medals I like. 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.
