medalnet Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 One would need better pictures of the medal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willi Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 One would need better pictures of the medal.As far as I know this medal was NOT awarded to men! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medalnet Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 (edited) Unfortunately all statistical data about this order is incomplete, so that we do not know if the medal was only given to women. Regardless: There was a proof made from the original dies using soft cooper material, which caused a coinage error. The medal displayed below is a fake made by using the proof piece:[attachmentid=48098]You see two perls/dot on the rim melted together.Whatever they did to reproduce this medal shows this error in a more abstract, less detailed appearance.

eitze Posted July 28, 2006 Author Share Posted July 28, 2006 Thank you so far.Beside all this nobody knows, if the photo was part of the original lot.On the bigger pictures I can`t find anything wrong on the rim with the perls, but you never know especially on ebay In the next auction of the "Hanseatisches Auktionshaus f?r Historica" on 11.08.2006 you can also find a silver medal of the Star of Brabant (Lot 1904) for 300 Euro.Below you can see the picture from their homepage:http://www.hanseatisches-auktionshaus.de/index1.htmlgreetingseitze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willi Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 I asked the seller whether he would guarantee that it is an original medal. Hes answer was: No, I don't!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBFloyd Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 I recall a number of medals of this type flowing out of Hamburg 10-15 years ago. All on nice flat ribbons with the upper corners of the ribbon clipped off to prevent unraveling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
