This is where the OCD kicks in. I have two of these already, yet this one has really cool design with Maximilian I with the crossbow, with superb eye appeal to boot. I had to pay up for it. This is that area where emotional response trumps rational thought which I am sure all can relate to.

Crossbow competitions must have been popular in the late 19th century because there is a Munich medal commemorating a similar contest. What fun!
Congrats Zohar, what a fantastic medal , looks like Maximilian will step right out of the medal.
Andres, is it a medal or a coin (2 gulden)?
Z., absolutely beautiful.
