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

    Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.

    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.
