<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 1952144, member: 39&quot;]&quot;PS&quot; - Seems they used this design:</p><p><a href="http://img.muenzauktion.com/pollandt/pic/artid21574_combined.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://img.muenzauktion.com/pollandt/pic/artid21574_combined.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://img.muenzauktion.com/pollandt/pic/artid21574_combined.jpg</a></p><p><br /></p><p>That is a Prussian taler from 1841. Olpe had been annexed by Prussia in 1815, and stayed Prussian until 1945. That original taler was a silver coin; your medal could be silver too but I am not sure. By the way, the inscription &quot;EIN THALER XIV EINE F.M.&quot; refers to a 1 taler coin, 14 of which would be one fine mark. Back in those days, a mark was a weight; the Cologne Mark was 234 grams.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
