Default Added an interesting item to my collection

Among an unreasonable number and mostly unaffordable amount of other stuff,
I also
collect Austrian medals.
I just won one this evening and look forward to adding it to my collection.

L. Hujer is one of my favorites and although this may not be considered one
of his finest efforts, I am thrilled to win it.
I have a page about him if anyone is interested.
http://www.austriancoins.com/Hujer.html

This is only the fifth item of his I have been fortunate enough to acquire.
He made hundreds!

The front shows Franz Josef the Kaiser of Austria and that is the extent of
my knowledge.
Sorry, I can't tell anything more about it as I haven't had a chance to do
any research.
But I had to show it off :-)

I hate to admit it...............but I could sell all my coins and
concentrate solely on such items.
Not ready to do that just yet however. :-)

Nice medal, yes, especially the female side :-) As for why it was made,
well, in 1908 Franz Joseph "of Austria, etc." (not my words but those on
the medal ...) had his 60-year jubilee as emperor.

And on that occasion, that numismatic society (Österreichische
Gesellschaft für Münz- und Medaillenkunde) apparently had a jubilee
exhibition (Jubiläumsausstellung) in Vienna (Wien, Künstlerhaus) which
this medal commemorates.

And now, back to coins. gd&r

Were there any coins issued depicting Bismarck around 1888? Was the
social security system put in place in Germany around that time?


1888 was the year of the three emperors in Germany - Wilhelm I,
Friedrich III, and Wilhelm II - and the latter fired Bismarck two years
later. But yes, the late 1880s were also the time when the fundaments of
the social security system were laid.

As for Bismarck on a German coin, there is no such thing. Lots of
medals, yes. But in the years of the monarchy (-1918) only royals,
princes and such could be honored on coins. And later ... well, he
certainly was and is a quite controversial politician. However, that
also applies to others who, unlike Bismarck, were honored by
commemorative coins.

Dale,
It is interesting that you mention these items, because I have had what
I believe to be an Austrian Token/Medal in my damaged coins bag for a while
now. It has had the pleasure of being drilled through the centre. The token
depicts "Franz Joseph I.V.G.G. Kaiser V. Oesterreich" on one side with the
name? "Tautenhayn" below the portrait. On the reverse I can make out the
letters "DER TAP... (Hole)..... KEIT", if it is of any interest to you
(although damaged), let me know and I will throw it an envelope and send it
across the pond to you. If it is scrap I ill return it to the "Lost souls
bag".

Thanks
Colin

I would be interested in seeing it. My personal opinion is if they are damaged they
are not worth anything.
Others may disagree.

Tautenhayn, Josef Hermann, born Vienna, May 5, 1837, died Vienna, April 1, 1911
Tautenhayn, Josef (junior) (1868-?) (note from newspaper: was 90 in 1958)

Dale,
Sorry for the delay, my ISP was carrying out maintenance which prevented
me uploading the pics. The images below show the item in question, I agree
with your comment that holed coins are not worth anything, however they may
still provide interest/reference for someone. If you are interested in the
medal in any way shape or form let me know and I will pop it in the post to
you free of charge. I feel it may be happier with someone who will have
interest in it than sitting in my rejects bag.
