Let's see your exonumia!

I collect exonumia other than military trade tokens and challenge coins and one of those themes are German Shepherd dog exonumia: medals, plaquettes, whatever. I haven't been searching much for them lately but here's a plaquette I'm not sure I've posted before:




This plaquette is 60mm tall by 71mm wide and weighs 76.90 grams. Reverse is blank except for the bottom center, which reads:

J. ASCHKA
MÜNCHEN

Possibly the artist, engraver, manufacturer? If anyone can shed any light on this...that would be great.

I have that glass! Wish I had what came with it too...

 

The beer?

 

hmm yes....the beer....

 

39mm; 20g. This is a dog show medal. I have the name of the club and the dog who won it, and what year it was awarded...but not handy at the moment.

 

The medal below is a beast. 80mm, 246 grams, minted by the Medalic Arts Company. I didn't want to spend any more time trying to get the background squared away but if it weren't for that, this is one of my better photos.

 

Nice. Do you know what the obverse says?

 

Sadly no clue. Maybe it's the artist?

 

One of my other exonumia areas of interest are battle scenes. I only have a couple plaquettes that fit this category, I lost too many auctions of very nice medals and became disinterested, or at leas disinterested to pursue any more auctions. Surprisingly I wasn't able to find many at the time.

Here's one I won for a song:


53.96g; 37mm x 56mm. Likely minted by the Franklin Mint.

 

I like rosters. I don't know why. I've never been around them or had anything to do with them. Here's a French agricultural medal featuring a roster. This medal is 21.85 grams, 36 mm, and appears as pictured. I don't think it's silver, it says "BRONZI" on the rim but it is a silver color.

 

Large dia 3" metal and plastic replicas

 

found this on the ground today. I used a Brillo pad to clean it up LOL

 

And this showed up in the mail today

 

I'll have a pair of those.....I love beer and beer maids

 

A-10 are not cool.......not the ones station over at Martin's Base in Baltimore . I can remember several times out fishing or crabing where I be pulling a trot line or chum in for Rock fish aka striped bass, where I be all alone on the boat mid week and these pilots would decide to do a run at me . They come in low and buzz me. I could almost see them laugh in the cockpit . And of course I give them a salute one finger at a time

 

To recent pickups and the type of items I'm looking for at the moment.

 

Just picked up this compete set of four E.J. Theisen Fugio pieces, two from 1957 and two from 1961. I consider these an awesome addition to my Fugio collection, even if they weren't minted in 1787.

From what I understand, Mr. Theisen was himself a collector of Fugio coppers and minted these pieces to entice the mint to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the original coin.

 

3"metal replicas

 

This next group are the last batch of the bulk penny swap. In the total off everything that was in the swap. I am a very happy swapper! But some of what ends up in an exonumia collectors boxes is differently interesting.



Buttons probably from metal detecting.The next two is older from the design and loop back.


A very well worn token even under magnification, nothing could be made out.
