<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collect89, post: 1027785, member: 15445&quot;]I saw Siberian Man’s post on lion coins before attending CoinFest this last weekend.&nbsp; Because of Siberian&#039;s lion thread, I was drawn to this medal at the show.&nbsp; I’m glad I was drawn to it because the more I examine it, the more I like it.&nbsp; What do you folks think of this piece?</p><p><br /></p><p>According to the dealer, this medal is from 1861 Norway.&nbsp; It commemorates the 50th anniversary of the Frederick Academy in Oslo.&nbsp; According to Internet sources, the Frederick Academy (subsequently the Royal Frederick University) is now named the University of Oslo.&nbsp; It is the oldest, largest and most prestigious university in the Norwegian capital of Oslo.&nbsp; It was founded in 1811 and originally modeled after the University of Berlin.&nbsp; As you might guess, it was originally named after King Frederick of Denmark and Norway.</p><p><br /></p><p>The medal obverse depicts a seated female offering a bowl to the kitty.&nbsp; The reverse consists of text within a wreath.&nbsp; This bronze medal is 42mm diameter with prooflike colorful toning on the fields.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
