I used to collect these yet sold entire collection. Gold medals are far scarcer and this one, while modern and easily found in silver, has a very cool obverse which swayed me to pull the trigger

Very Nice medal
Naa... but I do think the artistic Swiss engraving is admirable. I used to have a significant collection of 19th century shooting medals and am quite familiar with the issues and relative scarcity. Some have mintage of under 10. The Richter book is probably one of the better thematic catalogs made in terms of description and imaging.
Well, just Love coins, period.
