elverno Posted December 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 Yeah, that was called the Rose of Lippe I believe. I like coins from there but they're usually in horrible shape or way out of my price range... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elverno Posted December 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 c. 1790 Joseph II, Austria 20.5mm Link This was probably engraved by E. L. S. Lauer who worked from 1783 to 1829. Since Joseph died in early 1790 this could be a death jeton as it features the "Tree of Life". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elverno Posted December 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Thanks guys. I'm amazed that something as fragile as the surface of a coin or medal can survive in such remarkable shape. I had no idea the number of variants of the Bertrand pieces there were since Bramsen only lists two. I've got five! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elverno Posted December 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 1792 Capture of Frankfurt an Mayn, Frankfurt Hennin 378 27mm Link In October of 1792 the French had occupied Frankfurt with a couple of battalions and moved on against the Allies. In early December a larger force of Prussians and Hessians took the city by storm. This was at a cost of about 200 men for each side as well as about 1,100 French captured. It was a bad year for the Allies with very few victories. As a result, what would have been a minor battle ended up being commemorated by no less than three medals and jetons, of which this was one.
