<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 1868196, member: 39&quot;]No idea how much that would that medal be. The text in that city yearbook says it is fine silver, but maybe there were different metal versions. Anyway, what you have is a medal issued by the city of Hillesheim (in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate). According to the description, 500 individually numbered (on the edge maybe?) pieces were made.</p><p><br /></p><p>The theme of the medal is the Urban Renewal campaign launched by the Council of Europe; apparently Hillesheim was one of the &quot;exemplary&quot; cities. I briefly searched for some background info and found this: <a href="http://www.coe.int/t/dg4/cultureheritage/heritage/cemat/confminist1-15/3eresolution2_EN.asp" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coe.int/t/dg4/cultureheritage/heritage/cemat/confminist1-15/3eresolution2_EN.asp" rel="nofollow">Resolution</a> (HTML) / <a href="http://www.coe.int/t/dg4/cultureheritage/heritage/landscape/Publications/ATEP-24_en.pdf" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coe.int/t/dg4/cultureheritage/heritage/landscape/Publications/ATEP-24_en.pdf" rel="nofollow">Interim Report</a> (PDF; does not deal with Hillesheim though).</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
