Goetzdude Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 Obviously this is something that isn't even close to my collecting strategy but I had to have it because I thought it was beautiful. 1927 Hamburg Altona Blumenschau Commemorative Medal, 35mm., Silver, Stempelglanz. Obverse: Horticulture Association for Hamburg Altona and their surroundings. Reverse: Flower ‘blumenschau’. Engraved “Blumenschau Altona, April 1927” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 Very beautiful, evocative of the German Neu Guinea coinages with the reverse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goetzdude Posted May 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 Do you have to break my jaw every single time when I see your hot pictures? Thanks for sharing! Heh heh BTW, I got an email from Germany filling me in about this piece. Evidently it is a Prize piece and not a commemorative as I had thought. There were two series, one prize set in 45mm out of gold, silver, bronze and then another set of the same metals but in the 35mm size. I've never seen another example of this design but the person in Germany claims that the design was used from 1883 up to 1930. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
