That´s correct I have been googling my way trough the net the last 10 days. What i´m not sure of is if this is a second mint. The coin looks amazing and has great rainbow toning. And I have no idea on prices so i´m going to go from here. Thank you so much
Anytime. And remember...it's a commemorative medal, not a coin. Medals like those are sometimes refered to as "Napleonic Medals".
Well it looks and feels like the real deal and has proof like shine one it. The hardest thing about these medals is the price. I cant google or ebay this coin as I cant find it. I have seen one on a new zeland site but overgraded. Siggi
