It's dark side though!!!
This one is actually a little nicer than I expected.
I like when that happens.

Yes. 1/4" is pretty close.

Here is a little history on the Wiener family. Very prominent medalists.

I love the architecture. There are quite a few websites dedicated to information on the European cathedrals.
I highly recommend perusing them.
I enjoy spending time learning facts and looking at the pictures. They are remarkable structures.

Incredible detail on the engraving...wow!!!

I've seen those posted a few times on here....

And every time I think to myself, "If there's one coin/medal design that demonstrates the extent of what is possible in artistic engraving....this might be the one."

Spectacular!

I would like to have an example for my collection. In your opinion, which is the best one to choose?

That is a tough question. There are some that I like better than others but you may appreciate something different than me.
Another consideration is availability. Some rarely show up, especially nice.
There is a big price difference between the common and scarce pieces.
