The best I can do is a translation Denkmals - Monuments or Memorial Enthüllung - Unveiling Nürnberg - Sculptor It's commemorating some Monument created by Nürnberg unveiled on September 17th, 1890
Paddy, I actually think that it's from the city of Nürnberg. Note the arms match those of this Nürnberg coin. So how about "...commemorating some Monument in Nürnberg unveiled on September 17th, 1890..."? Check this out: http://www.vanderkrogt.net/statues/object.php?webpage=ST&record=deby001
Yes I saw this website earlier. Could be but there is also a Sculptor named Johann Wolfgang Rößner Nurnberg http://www.vanderkrogt.net/statues/artist.php?webpage=ST&id=Rossner.j
The side with the portrait says Martin Behaim - Der Seefahrer. On the other side (CoA): Denkmals-Enthüllung 17. September 1890 Nürnberg So that would be this guy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Behaim The page also shows the memorial mentioned on the medal. Christian
The sculptor Johann Wolfgang Rößner Nurnberg unveiled the statue of Martin Behaim on Sept 17th 1890 Description Bronze statue of Behaim with sword and his terrestrial globe of 1492 ('Erdapfel'), on a richly decorated sandstone pedestal, with on the sides two bronze seated figures: Handel - Trade, with caduceus, cornucopia and anchor. Wissenschaft - Science, in her hand a drawing of a astrolabe and under the chair some books, on of which with the author's name Regiomon- / tanus.
