Most should know by now I’ve been deep into coin club medal including CSNA, PCNS besides several others.
I came across this one and for a very short iMessage hesitated because it was much larger that the rest of my medals
and yes…….I’m crazy that way……like them all to match ;)
But, only for a moment because it’s not everyday you run across a medal that has Chester Krause’s name on it.
I would hope the majority of you here know or heard of him via his books.

.

Below is the medal and below that is a link to the man and some of his bio below.
Such a great man!

I would imagine every is familiar with his books most are World coins, medal and tokens but in a few of the publications the had in the back of the book “Unusual Word Coins’ in which many of Daniel Carrs. Gallery mint museum and more are mentioned and there graded by PCGS ad NGC.
