    Yes, I said unicorns. When I saw the medal below, it was one of those times where I said, "I have to try and buy that." This was part of Stacks Bowers NY International sale. I probably paid to much but I think it is pretty cool.

    GERMANY. Munich. Unicorn Silver Medal, ND (ca. 1905). PCGS MS-62.

    Weber-149. Diameter: 46 mm. Obverse: Unicorn right, facing left, shrub in background; Reverse: Carousel with monogram suspended below.

    Interestingly enough it is the 2nd numismatic item I purchased this week with a Unicorn on it. Heritage had a sale featuring all Admiral Vernon medals. This was a type I have wanted to add for a while.

    1739 Admiral Vernon Medal, Porto Bello, Adams-PB-2-C, R.5, AU58 NGC. Ex: Admiral Vernon Collection. Copper alloy. 38.8 mm. One of many familiar Porto Bello Taken reverses paired with one of three no-portrait obverses. This obverse is employed by three of the no-portrait varieties. This is a beautiful piece, showing problem-free olive-brown surfaces with barely a trace of wear.

    I didn't intend to buy 2 unicorns this week but it happened anyway. Please post your coins with unicorns or anything related.
