    Thanks guys.

    Here are two more Schutzenfest medals that really belong together. Apologies for the photos being of totally different quality…..

    Left medal:

    R-1789a 27mm Silver
    Huguenin
    1000 minted
    NGC MS62

    Right medal:
    1909 Basel
    R-132c 29mm Silver
    Hans Frei

    I have searched high and low for the R-132c for years and finally found one. And I have never seen another R-1789a offered for sale. But I keep looking! :D

    Hiho, are these written about somewhere in a book? How do you know what other ones you search for? I'm also curious about the lion (?) on three of them and the creature on the fourth coin. Thank you for posting the photos. An awesome display! Lucy
