research5 Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 Here are some other "Wilhelm" coins with zylinder or hat from another auction. They are all different, an indication that they are individuelly hand made. Sorry for the low quality, but it is scanned from the catalogue. I have found these in: http://www.emporium-hamburg.com/ (auction 41, May 1999 and auction 43, May 2000) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are two additional satiric medals, which are available on UBS auction 73: http://www.ubs.com/2/e/Auctions/ubs-73/01512h00.htm This is Emporeur Wilhelm II. http://www.ubs.com/2/e/Auctions/ubs-73/01544h00.htm This is the Saxonian King Friedrich August (I have never seen a satiric medal of him, those of Wilhelm II are much more often.)
