Thanks Art1.2.

If elverno is still active here it would be interesting to get more information about the medal, like diameter, weight and metal.

If you also could post/send some high res photos it would be perfect.

Very interesting medal. Its definitely norwegian.

The obverse reads:

HARDWORKING

DILIGENT. SPARSE

SOBER. FAITH AND GOOD

GIVES MAN

BLESSING AND

ENJOYABLE BREAD

ALL OF LIFE'S

18 DAYS 01

The reverse reads:

FOR GOOD DEEDS AND COUNTRY EXPEDIENT DILIGENCE BY LIEUTENANT H. v. BUCHVALD

H v. Buchvald was a norwegian officer by the name Hans von Buchvald.

I know he set up some private prices in the early 1800s.

I will try and dig some more, but I am a little occupied the first couple of weeks.

PS! Norway was a part of Denmark in 1801 and the written language the same.
