Most incredible die engraving I have ever seen...the furr on the coat, the chain mail...
Not a great picture, but you get the idea.

Luthor, Johann, etc (a great piece of history) It was a Revolution.

a super example of that one Jeff, thanks for sharing it! That is certainly an example that you can sit and stare at the artistic beauty, and just get lost in it. congratulations!

The medal is exquisitely done. The romanesque cathedral at Speyer is one of the most impressive of the many hundreds I've seen, and at nearly 1000 years old is one of the few remaining romanesque cathedrals in existance. Definitely worth a visit.

I can't help but wonder about the etymological link between the word spire (as in church spire) and the city name Speyer. Spire seems to have entered the English language around 1300, but I'm not sure if the city name wasn't derived from the base word, also linked to spear. In any case, it's interesting to speculate.

Now why can't they do that here in the good old USA where we have the finest everything in the world but just dull coins?

Yup

I admired it on NEN's website several times but couldnt find the guts to pull the trigger. I think that was a real good buy.

It took me a while too. I've never spent that much money on a Medal...I wish the picture captured the Color.
