Need ID help Please; Stad Maastricht Silver medal

rah1959

Hello Everyone.

I picked this up recenlty...a pretty medal made into a pin or brooch. The photos don't do it justice...but I need some help on its identity.

Measures 38.5mm, 3mm thick.

It looks like the original reverse center has been erased and re-engraved, then a pin added.

Marked on lower rim C. Jehotte f. (Constant Jehotte Made me)


What I would like to know is:

1.) Can anyone please tell me what this orignally was.....?

2.) Why re-engraved....(is the current engraving a name (L. Spits) and town (Roermond)?

3.) And metal content. It looks and feels like solid silver but cannot find any metal content markings.



Thank you in advance for your help...photos below.

Looks like lot 3094 in this auction has a similar one.
Foreign Auction

Putting it in babelfish, shows:
Penning of the city Maastricht by C. Jéhotte - VZ angel with town weapon/KZ lauwerkrans (not filled in) - bronze 38 mm - PR 10

Dutch/Netherlands award medal perhaps?

Thanks for your info...........sounds similar.....I bet it is an award given by the City of Maastricht....probably in Bronze ( as in the auction you referenced), and silver.

Mine definately shows a re-working on the reverse. You can see faint traces of the tops of letters in the original engraving above the current engraving...and right below the wreath.

would love to learn more if anyone else out there in cyberspace know.....
