Very interesting medal. Congrats on a great pickup.

What's the size and history of the medal?

Great young portrait! He does look a little bored or sleepy, though.

What's the size and history of the medal?

35 mm. The medal is described as the official coronation medal, designed by Lorenz Natter.

A very interesting short biography is found here: Natter

Still had all his hair and probably half his teeth.

(Nice coin by the way).
