Does anyone know anything about Jacob Abraham medals (from the Berlin Jewish Museum)

Longacre

I had some extra time this evening, so I took a walk to the Berlin Jewish Museum. It was quite a powerful museum, especially the parts about the Holocaust. I was surprised that there were quite a few coins and medals in the museum, too (this museum was a history of Jews, and not specifically about the WWII era). I learned quite a lot.

They had a large display of 72 medals by someone named Jacob Abraham from the 18th and 19th century. Given the size of the display, I assume that this person was a pretty prominent medal maker. Does anyone have any more information about these medals?

Here is a picture of some of the medals:




Here is a picture of the text adjacent to the medal display:




On the way, I stopped by and saw Checkpoint Charlie and the Berlin Wall (what's left of it). Again, I was saddened by the fact that there was a Starbucks right next to the checkpoint (at least it was in West Berlin).

Berlin...............................my home town, was born there, we left in 61 when the wall was built.
Nice pics, thanks for sharing.

Got a little home sick for a split second...
