<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ValiantKnight, post: 2417195, member: 44210&quot;]I actually have one of these as well, given to me as a gift. The double-headed eagle and the fact its from the 18th cent. is what I like about it. I recently found out that it caught some bronze disease unfortunately so I&#039;ll be treating it soon.</p><p><br /></p><p>I can&#039;t help but wonder about my medal, though, specifically where it was minted, who these medals were for, and the mintage. I&#039;m guessing perhaps it would have been issued to Prussian veterans of the battle. If each survivor received one medal that would mean that around 51,700 of my medal would have been minted. Its a scarce type not terribly rare, but this still seems a bit high to me. Or maybe these were issued to the nobility and/or government officials? This is all speculation on my part so unfortunately I really don&#039;t know. Perhaps the guys in the World forum might be able to answer my questions?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
