Loyal Citizen Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Hello. recently purchased medal. weight - 56.7 g., diameter 57 mm looks like and feels like gilded silver to me, however, it could be just gilded tin. Also, I think it is kind of religious medal but ... would appreciate any information on origin of this medal. Regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drusus Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 This is a reproduction of a Hamburg Silver Double Schautaler (wedding thaler) 1650 61mm.~ 57.11g Obverse: A well dressed bride and groom being blessed by Jesus. The bride is wearing a crown with long braided hair. Just over Jesus should be a hand holding something, what I am not sure...it doesn't show on yours.I am not sure what the meaning of the inscription is but some who knows German might be able to help: WAS.GOT ZUSAMMEN FVGET.DAS SOL KEIN MENSCH SCHEIDEN. Reverse is Christ, his mother, and the bride and groom sitting at a table. A master of ceremonies is holding up a wine glass in a taost. In front of them are 6 amphora. JESUS CHRISTUS:MACHET.WASSER.Z.WEIN.CANA.GALI:IO:II. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
