Product Details

Here we have a medal in what appears to be some type of "gold" finish struck for the Bicentenary of the Naumburg Convention. We do not believe it is solid gold, just a gold looking finish. It's a stunning medal, rare and vintage.

Overall in very good / excellent condition, especially considering its over 290 years old!
