I have been looking for this ruler for quite some time. It is not as available as some of the others of the monarchy. Also picked up a couple of silver shooting medals which I will send in for grading at some point. 1654 Ferdinand Charles, Archduke of Further Austria (1646-1662) Taler DAV-3367, NGC AU-55 Canton: Aargau 1899 Cantonal Shooting Festival at Wohlen Richter 25a Composition: Silver Diameter: 45mm Design: Franz Homberg Mintage: 529 Canton: Bern 1893 West Swiss Shooting Festival at Biel Richter 225a Composition: Silver Diameter: 45mm Design: Franz Homberg Mintage: 1186
That 1893 Shooting is phenomenal! Huge congrats, I can't believe how fast you are building this set, and I also can't believe you don't own all of them yet.
Thank you for the post. I like the shooting medals you have posted. I have no shooting medals in my collection. I only have one shooting festival coin in my collection. It is an attractive coin from Freiburg. I would like to get more but they are expensive. I hope that others will post their shooters here.
Sweet medals Is there another reference guide to these other than Martin, printed in English as I cannot read it in the language it is written in? I have a few pieces from the Canton's but I've always been interested in these for a long time but have held back as I have no/limited knowledge of them but I love looking at them. Thanks Doug
Jurg Richter's book is the most comprehensive and includes references to Martin #s. http://books.google.com/books?id=TtD2QwAACAAJ&source=gbs_ViewAPI
