<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 441476, member: 39&quot;]That piece is part of a series of (15 or so) medals sold by MDM in the mid-1980s. There was a silver and bronze version, it seems. Here is an image of the whole series in bronze; don&#039;t know whether it is visible for guests: <a href="http://www.numismatikforum.de/download.php?id=16709" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.numismatikforum.de/download.php?id=16709" rel="nofollow">http://www.numismatikforum.de/download.php?id=16709</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The eagle on the other side is something that pretty much every German coin collector knows: It is the &quot;Adlerfibel&quot;, an East Gothic fibula or brooch from the 5th century which was depicted on the very first commem of the Federal Republic. <a href="http://www.wissenschaft-online.de/artikel/612694&amp;template=bild_popup&amp;_bild=3" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.wissenschaft-online.de/artikel/612694&amp;template=bild_popup&amp;_bild=3" rel="nofollow">http://www.wissenschaft-online.de/artikel/612694&amp;template=bild_popup&amp;_bild=3</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The brooch was found in San Marino in the 19th century, and can be viewed at the Germanic Museum in Nürnberg. Cannot tell anything about the possible value of the medal. But since it&#039;s silver, it would at least be worth the metal content.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
