    First side: All Furs native country Volksspende Niobe (these words must be a proper name of some kind - did not translate into anything).

    Second side: The victims from Fehmarn to the memory (most likely "To the memory of the victims from Fehmarn")

    The translate program does wierd stuff with syntax. I'm clueless as to the first side ... makes no sense to me image

    But that is one pretty medal image

    Sorry I don't know German.

    There is a online free translation. You might try that.

    Thanks Farthing, I had thought I'd seen it before. Now it has its own thread image

    There was an article in Munzen & Papiergeld about these medals last year.. still have it somewhere, but it was a few pages long.. not much help to the non-German speakers! Maybe I'll scan some of the pics if I can find it.

    My wantlist & references

    An evil, evil man. He puts addictive chemicals on the surface the coins and medals he sells so they seep into your system making you want to buy more and more from him. He's completely ruthless, reckless and dangerous and needs to be stopped. For shame, Ron! For shame!
