There's a Lot Happening Here

My bird-themed collection contains a mix of coins, tokens, and medals.

This undated German silvered medal is one of my favorites featuring an agricultural theme, and there is quite a lot happening--roosters, hens, a duck, a cockatoo, a hare, various other birds, and even a couple of dogs.

Share a medal or two if you have one!

    Really cool piece and in a great grade! This reminds me that there was one which I was watching a few months back in an auction and forgot to bid on it 😑

    I enjoy the German award medals made for the various avian competitions. Here's one of mine, awarded and engraved.

    That is a cool one, Jeremy! @numismagram

    Medals or not, those definitely fit the theme. That counts, @bidask

    I almost showed this in Stork's thread about Dutch Aviation Medals.

    Birds are a great theme! Were you by any chance sitting in on the Ancients course at the Philadelphia ANA last year?

    Here is a newp from a recent Stephen Album auction--my birds tend to be storks for some reason :smile: :

    Storks are cool birds.

    They observe a lot of things .

    Yes, @Stork that was me! Say hello at this year's show if you would like.

    Very cool, @carabonnair
