Help identifying medal. Thank you.
I know this is not a coin but hoped that one of you might be able to
help me. Mom gave me this medal for my birthday this year because I collect coins. (Similarly, someone gave it to her dad because he "collects coins".) She thought it was silver, but I don't think so. Yellower than silver, lighter than brass/bronze - hubby thought maybe nickel plated. Measures just over 1.5 inches (4 cm). OBV: roman-looking guy (head and shoulders) holding branch (olive?/laurel?) REV: thin wreath containing legend "DEM SIEGER S.C.E. 20.Stift.Fest I. Preis" I tried entering the legend in google and got no returns. Thanks. DrLLLong ....whose non-coin little round object collection is growing through no fault of my own |

Preis" is "First Prize". Will be tough to find out where exactly this is from ;-) Christian |

No designer's name. Looks like the DEM SIEGER is part of the medal as made and the rest of it is a lighter engraving added afterwards. So I'm guessing the equivlent of those generic little trophies they give out at community/school sporting events. No matter...I wasn't under the impression it was a "find" just curious. Its the right size/wt for a card protector for my trip to Vegas next week -- I'll give it a run as a "good luck" piece. Thanks again for the response. You folk at RCC have always been very helpful!

Ahhh but I collect Austrian medals and even if it had no monetary value, if it could be identified as Austrian instead of German, it would be a "find" to me simply for the information identifying it represented. I have quite a few worthless medals that I treasure a lot :-) Dale |
