<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 1224237, member: 39&quot;]Yes, that &quot;bridge&quot; medal would be nice to have, Clinker. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> While I don&#039;t collect medals, they sure are interesting, also because coins and medals are often designed by the same artists. The first medal in your post honors Samuel Hahnemann, the &quot;founder&quot; of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeopathy" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeopathy" rel="nofollow">homeopathy</a>. The &quot;similia similibus&quot; motto is one of the basic homeopathic principles.</p><p><br /></p><p>The medal showing the bridge is a great combination of &quot;realistic&quot; elements (e.g. the river goddess) and an almost abstract depiction of the river/bridge scene. No sun, clouds or anything like that above the bridge. By the way, that bridge crossed the Elbe river north of Dessau (which today is part of the city of Dessau-Roßlau, in the state of Saxony-Anhalt). For many years it was used as a combined road and rail bridge. Later it got replaced by a rail bridge, a little further west, and a road bridge further east ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
