  There were some incredible engravers flaoting around Europe in the 19th C, very nice piece.

  The engraving on those (and other 19th century medals) is amazing. Way better than on the coinage, in many cases.

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

  Excellent set of pix. And although I have yet to own one, I think this design is one of Wiener's top 3 or 4.
