<p>[QUOTE="ValiantKnight, post: 2416500, member: 44210"][USER=72818]@Mikey Zee[/USER] Found some new info. Did another Google search, and there is a book called the <font size="4">Account of the institution and progress of the Society of the Antiquaries of Scotland. Part 3, published in 1831, and one of these Battle of Prague medals was part of a donation to the Society in 1785. This record is on page 48 of the book. I think this basically confirms that my medal really is from 1757 <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie80" alt=":shame:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></font></p><p><font size="4"><br /></font></p><p><font size="4"><a href="https://books.google.com/books?id=y19dAAAAcAAJ&pg=PA48&lpg=PA48&dq=1757+battle+of+prague+medal&source=bl&ots=xYWmFzGdVz&sig=qaAnhEmcmXF8b_sr-CGisCrL7lo&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjBuprS_svMAhUO8mMKHX8KCyY4ChDoAQhFMAs#v=onepage&q=1757%20battle%20of%20prague%20medal&f=false" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://books.google.com/books?id=y19dAAAAcAAJ&pg=PA48&lpg=PA48&dq=1757+battle+of+prague+medal&source=bl&ots=xYWmFzGdVz&sig=qaAnhEmcmXF8b_sr-CGisCrL7lo&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjBuprS_svMAhUO8mMKHX8KCyY4ChDoAQhFMAs#v=onepage&q=1757%20battle%20of%20prague%20medal&f=false" rel="nofollow">https://books.google.com/books?id=y19dAAAAcAAJ&pg=PA48&lpg=PA48&dq=1757 battle of prague medal&source=bl&ots=xYWmFzGdVz&sig=qaAnhEmcmXF8b_sr-CGisCrL7lo&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjBuprS_svMAhUO8mMKHX8KCyY4ChDoAQhFMAs#v=onepage&q=1757 battle of prague medal&f=false</a> </font></p><p><font size="4"><br /></font></p><p><font size="4">(the medal itself is mentioned right at the bottom of the page)</font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
