This arrived today in Bronze. Must have sat in some envelope for a while.

Zohar - a bit off topic, but how many dealers do you buy from to get these wonderful coins? They're not everyday items...

Thank you. At this point they come to me... What I generally do is keep the nicest pieces in my set (sigline) and sell/trade the rest. I love these designs and each medal comes with such a different feel to it, like this one. It is technically not of the highest grade, yet the colors make it very neat.

I really like the high relief elements that contrast against lower relief backgrounds. Very obviously in keeping with Swiss medal tradition, very well made. The colouring is just a bonus.

BTW Zohar, still ogling my LZ-126 medal.

The peripheral toning you have here especially on the obverse is really cool - I love the EA on this medal alot
