<p>[QUOTE="chrisild, post: 1885667, member: 39"]As for #1, I cannot decipher the entire text, but I think the beginning is "Unter Gottes Segen ... Hamburgs Wohlfahrt". The two dates are easier to read, and indicate what the medal is about: 1558 - that is when the Hamburg Stock Exchange was established. 1841 - in that year it moved to a new location. The sitting woman could be Hammonia, an allegorical figure representing Hamburg. In those years such figures, like the Germania on the other medal, were quite popular.</p><p><a href="http://monety.pl/download/file.php?id=517&mode=view" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://monety.pl/download/file.php?id=517&mode=view" rel="nofollow">http://monety.pl/download/file.php?id=517&mode=view</a></p><p><a href="http://monety.pl/download/file.php?id=518&mode=view" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://monety.pl/download/file.php?id=518&mode=view" rel="nofollow">http://monety.pl/download/file.php?id=518&mode=view</a></p><p><br /></p><p>And #3, the text on the other side is "Vorwärts (VORWAERTS) mit deutschem Fleisse und deutscher Kraft", ie.
