Hello,

I need your help guys. I have here a medal of Margaret of Austria. I don't know anything about this medal, can't find any information on the net. Bought this on a flea market a couple of years ago.

I would like to ask anybody who knows about this:
a.) What's this medal for?
b.) This looks like a commemorative medal but is it a period medal? or a modern one?
c.) There's a writing on the back, it looks like German. Do you know what is written there?

Thanks for looking!

It's French, but not clear enough for me to read.

AT THE COURT OF MALINES SHE WELCOMED AND PROTECTED ARTISTS, WRITERS AND SCIENTISTS.
