Fascinating! Would be interesting to learn the medal's journey from the day of presentation to NGC years later.

Harald zur Hausen passed away in 2023. I suppose a survivor/heir was persuaded to cash in.

Very impressive medal, in several ways! I don't think that I'll be adding one of these to my collection.
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

If this medal belonged to one of my family members I would have a very hard time selling it I would want to pass it down. But that was a lot of money.
