    Hello all,
    Here is a new medal I have picked up that I can't seem to find any info on. I do think it is latin on the reverse and on the obverse there seems to be a monastary. It is silver and weighs 35.73 grams and is approximately 48mm in diameter. The latin translator of the wording reads "ottobura after ten races of the newly rising". Other google research led me to Ottobeuren Abbey but I'm not 100% sure that is where this medal is from. I'm just trying to pinpoint exactly where this medal originated from, the date it was produced and hoping to find out an approximate value.
    Thanks!

    I like the medal! I am not much help in uncovering it's origin though.
