philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 09/12/2014 7:13 pm CIL may be the initials of Christopher Jacob Leherr, an Augsburger medallist whose career was cut short in 1707 when he was beheaded for forgery. Report this Post to the Staff

alganbagerap Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2490 Posts	Posted 09/12/2014 9:19 pm OK, I'm home. The reverse is a knock off of a Jean Mauger medal which usually features Louis XIV in armour on the obverse. These medals are heavily reproduced, to a very high standard and fetch high prices. It's possible that yours is a second tier reproduction. Possibly for the souvenir market. Report this Post to the Staff
