Edit: Also could be an old clock-work system with the weight hanging from the axle?

tdziemia Pillar of the Community United States 7973 Posts	Posted 10/22/2018 5:27 pm That looks like a really close match! The question is who would have made a medal like that? If it were a commemorative, we might expect a date range and not a single date (1484-1984 for example). Here is an iron casting company, G F with operations throughout central Europe: https://www.georgfischer.com/conten...cations.html Maybe this was given out to customers or passers-by at a 1984 exposition?
