Tiffibunny Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 1891 Switzerland 700 Years of Confederation Medal/Medallion 50mm, Aluminum, engraver Lauer. Reverse features shields of all the Cantons. Now I don't know if it's official being that its aluminum, but I do like it. Anybody know of a good book on Swiss medals in English?

Tiffibunny Posted December 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 Aluminium, eh? That's pretty nice. Yeah 50mm too, so it's the heaviest Al coin/medal thing I've ever felt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 Excellent medal. At 50mm it's got to be a very nice display piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuldFartte Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 Wow. For aluminum, that is a real beauty, Tiff How'd you get aluminum to be so photogenic? All my attempts at decent aluminum pics are garbage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All my attempts at decent aluminum pics are garbage I had to basically turn the light almost completely away. You notice it's kinda dark.

Roger Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 I would like to share my new aquisition of a medal like reported here by Tifibunny. One correction I would like to offer is that is is the sexcentennial (600 years--1291 to 1891) and not the 700th anniversary as listed. Tifibunny's coin looks to be in better condition but I am very happy to have this one. Specs: 50mm x 3.8mm, 15.4g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
