Bought this on the Kunker sale. Always liked this city view which somewhat resembles the 1653 dated Dadler medal I have below commemorating the 5 year anniversary of the end of the 30 year war. 1803. Hamburg. Commemorating the 1000-year millennium jubilee celebration of the city. Engraved by D. Loos & J.V.Döll. 39.32mm, 18.81gr. Silver. Obv. Tyche (city goddess) seated below 1000-year old oak-tree holding staff, caduceus (staff of Mercure) and City shield of Hamburg. Cornucopia (horn of plenty) below, birds flying around. Rev. Bird´s eye view of the Inner Alster Lake waterfront with beautiful minimalistic details. Genius in clouds above. References: Nuber 4/6, Grotemeyer 43/45, Gaed. 2000. Sommer A102.
