    Sorry for the poor scans. I've had this coin in my collection for a while. It's one of my favorite commemoratives.

    I know it's 1792 and it's a Franz Joseph Coronation Commemorative but that's about it.

    Is it a coin or medal?

    It's a medal and I would guess it was struck in brass.

    Was it struck or rolled? Looking at it, it is quite small, thin and fragile. I thought it might be rolled.

    They stopped using roll dies in the 1600's. That was struck.
