Had a few hours to spend at the Munich shop. Very few Talers yet many medals. I spend some time going through the cabinets and picked up the following simply given eye appeal.
90mm silver table medal depicting Bismarck.
1877 Strassburg Medal, Wilhelm I
1833 French Louise Phillipe Medal
1886 Augsburg Medal, City View

This is the reason I do not seriously get into medals (except shooting) as it very difficult to stay within a collecting theme.
What you say about 'theme' is true, it can be difficult--there is always something gorgeous out there. On the other hand medals can be a nice evolving process, and not necessarily cost too much. I certainly have kept with my mommy/baby theme (and greyhounds now) but along the way I've done many side trips. The side trips haven't been too expensive (with a few exceptions!) and I've actually sold a few (!) and you never know when a new medal can spark a new collecting direction. But, it is easy to get distracted

I believe the reason we can't get coins like that today. those designs don't lend themselves
to high speed production.
