    Hello everyone. Someone in the Coin Chat forum mentioned that I may try showing my medal in this forum. I bought a jewelry lot with this item in it and am trying to find another like it, or just some more information about it. It is a medal of Wolfgang Amedeus Mozart and written on the back is "In Memoriam 1791-1931". Written also at the bottom is "J. Tautenhayn" and it is signed on the back 585 and it is 14k gold. I did some research on Tautenhayn and found a little about who he was, but I cannot find many examples of his work that have sold. I am wondering if there is more value here than the gold scrap value. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Steve

    Can't believe this Medal is still bright Copper color. 1884 Agriculture Medal awarded for Bovine, Rouen France by Hubert Ponscarme 1827-1903. ponscarme-horz.jpg
    During the First World War the British used Rouen as a supply base and there were many military hospitals.
    Rouen was heavily damaged during World War II - approximately 45% of the city was destroyed. In June 1940 the area between the Rouen Cathedral and the Seine river burned for 48 hours as the Nazis did not allow firemen access to the fire. Other areas were destroyed between March and August 1944 just before and during the Battle of Normandy, which ended on the left bank of the Seine with the destruction of several regiments belonging to the German 7th Army. Rouen's cathedral and several significant monuments were damaged by Allied bombing. During the German occupation, Nazi Germany's Kriegsmarine had its headquarters located in a château on what is now the Rouen Business School (École Supérieure de Commerce de Rouen). The city was liberated by the Canadians on 30 August 1944 after the breakout from Normandy (copyright @ Wikipedia)
