Included in this picture are some pretty cool German medals and coins. I need help with the following: German Olympic Medal - After researching this medal, I can't find much about it. It appears to be silver, but I am not sure. It's weight is 33.59 grams, 44 mm in length. Johann Erzhbrzog Medal - Only found this under the Yale University Art Gallery. Says it is silver, but mine doesn't seem to be. Don't know much more about this coin. Silver Friedrich Deutscher Kronprinz medal - This is the small silver medal, but I can't find this anywhere. Reverse side of coin reads: Gott Erhalte Unsern Kronprinz Friderich, 15 mm in length, 0.96 grams. Wilhelm II Aug Victoria - reverse side of coin reads: Friedr.Wilh.Kronpr.D.Drutsch.Reich.&V.P. Can't find anything about this one either. 21 mm in length, 4.10 grams. The rest I just found interesting and wanted to share. Thank you, Steve
The medal on the left is about the 1972 Olympics in Munich, possibly issued by the city, or maybe by some private company. On one side you see the logo of the games (and of the lottery that helped financing them; the lottery with that symbol still exists). The other side shows Munich's CoA on the left, the TV tower and the "tent" architecture of the main stadium. The next piece honors Archduke Johann who had been elected Reichsverweser (head of state, sort of) by Germany's revolutionary parliament in June 1848. Deutschlands Hoffnung und Stolz = Germany's hope and pride. http://museum.zib.de/sgml_internet/sgml.php?seite=5&fld_0=me002086 The Kronprinz Friedrich on the next one is probably the later emperor Friedrich. He was Prussian king and German emperor for three months in 1888 only. Sorry, no idea about a possible value ... Christian
Christian, I was able to find who issued the Olympic medal. It was issued by Germany Federal Republic.
Hmm, the Federal Republic of Germany is where I live. Don't think that the federal government issued that medal. Problem is, there are many Munich Olympics medals, so it may be difficult to find out more about the composition, the designer, etc. ... Christian
Well, I only found one looking at images under William M. Resembling/Rare Coins. They listed the. Medal as gilt brass #55256. Mine does not look like brass. Hard medal to find info on but it is fun learning and researching. Sometimes I need help and enjoy sharing.
