I have posted this before but I just got the page up for this medal a bit ago and thought I would share. As usual, if you find any glaring errors, mainly with spelling or a muddled sentence, let me know. I compile these without another person to edit and its sometimes hard to catch all the problems after looking at the page for so long. the Medal in Question: Town of Oberammergau (Bavaria) - Large Porcelain Medal Depicting Christ with Angels and Crosses. 1930 Link to the page: http://www.cachecoins.org/oberammergau.htm
I neither heard nor seen a porcelain medal before. I would have nightmares if I had this one considering I fumble every now and then and break lots of stuff.LOL. Nice one Dru.
This is from Meissen porcelain works who also produced porcelain notgeld coins. They made a lot of medals though. Oberammergau also produced the silver medals for this event, they are very attractive medals. Always in the theme of the Passion.
Personally I find the background a bit offputting, it's a neat medal but with the black it hurts my eyes a little to look at it :/ Other than that very nice job!
Lovely piece with lots of detail, unusual in that getting detail in the design must have been somewhat difficult due to the manufacturing process.
I decided on a black background many years ago, cant turn back now...more work that I am willing to put into it. I do love the detail on this medal though
Generally I like a black background, especially on silver coins. I think it's because of the color of this piece. I've seen a few Meissen porcelein pieces, mainly notgeld. This is a very nice example, I like it a lot.
