Can anyone identify this large 1871 Austrian piece? Its is 36 mm wide and in great condition. Seems related to industry. I've searched online using the letters around both sides, as well as hundreds of images, to no avail... Thank you for any help you can provide.
The obverse says: date side Commercial and industrial land and forestry exhibition in eger and the reverse says: Progress and merit I was also unable to find anything on the medal. What is the weight and diameter? It may help.
I am not having much luck either Ben. It might take some serious research into the history of Eger, Hungary.
If no one gets you help in the next 24 hours, I'll google the medal in german and look for a reference.
