I am trying to identify and number of tokens/medals that I have found varying degrees of information online but still struggling. This post will focus on some German medals and I will post a couple threads with others. Any help appreciated.

The first is a Proof or proof-like which I have not been able to find anything about.

The second is an 1844 medal with a train on the reverse.

The third is another I could very nothing about.

No. 1 is a medal from the reign of Wilhelm I of Prussia. Germania stands between Concordia and Pax (she sure didn't stand there for long!)

The third one's obverse says(via Google Translate): God bless the German homeland
The reverse says(via Google Translate): In memory of the 30 years of jubilant celebration of the German survey

They all appear to be German

Um, I'm going the go with the "uprising" definition of Erhebung, rather than "survey." Might refer to the revolution of 1848, but given the time period of these other medals, it probably means the uprising in the Napoleonic era.

Yeah, survey didn't sound right to me. But that's what Google Translate said.
