nicholas gabriel New Member Sweden 0 Posts	Posted 10/07/2014 3:12 pm Hello, I think this is just a local made medal, cant find any coins or medals like it, I'm guessing its nothing of value, except it has a kgb halmark on it, I might be wrong cos its not clear! I'm hoping one of you can give a clue! Its from Sweden, but it can be from anywhere in Scandinavia. :) Thanks, nicholas G. Edited by nicholas gabriel 10/07/2014 3:13 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Medieval Pillar of the Community 3772 Posts	Posted 10/07/2014 3:41 pm Can't fully read it, but on the top picture there is a name at the bottom, something "KCB..." which should be the name of the designer or manufacturer and also the writing on the rim should help. If you cannot find a result via google, post your reading (or a close up picture) of said signature and the rim. Report this Post to the Staff

Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 10/07/2014 8:23 pm First off, welcome. Well, certainly not a coin, clearly a commemorative medal. JÃ¶ns Jacob Berzelius was a Swedish chemist who pioneered the setting of atomic weights, and discovered the elements cerium, silicon, selenium, and thorium. Your medal really doesn't look like silver in these photos. Perhaps you could type out the legends as they appear on the edge, as they're awfully hard to read.

srcliff Valued Member United States 453 Posts	Posted 10/07/2014 8:28 pm I did a quick search and found an award named after him but the medal awarded that I saw looked much older. Not sure if its still awarded or if this is more likely a commemorative medal. Report this Post to the Staff
