I have really struggled with google translate on this and cant seem to make head nor tails out of it, do we have anyone fluent that could help just enough to know what it is about.  Religious text maybe? *** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. *** |

First the original text.
Around the rim: "Gott redet alle / diese wort'" and then
"Ich bin der Herr Dein Gott du // sols keine andere Gotter neben // mir haben // ..."
So it starts: "God says all / these words"
"I am the Lord your God you // shall no other gods besides // me have // ..."
Bottom line, it's a version of the ten commandments written in a style and with spellings which point to before WWI.
Postscript:
It certainly does not fit into this forum, made well after the reformation, likely 19th century.

Sorry about that, was supposed to be in the "Identification: Unidentified Coins, Medals, and Tokens" my error.

No worries, was just a comment so that it may be moved to that section.
Someone there might know the origin of the medallion.

On the both sides you see the german full text of the Ten Commandments.
on front side "Gott redet alle diese Worte" means god speaks all of these words.
time: aprox. 1740-1770
I found an early description of this medal dated 1772

Methinks 'Petrus' that that is a big ask for someone who is not fluent with German (and the older script as well).

The text on both sides are the ten commandments in German. The exact translation of the above line is "God read these words to all"

thats right medieval! sometimes, it seems as if some members answer without reading the other and older answers. and the time is between 1740 and 1770. actually, in the www you can buy another one at Euro 30.-- http://shop.muenzgalerie.de/de/MUeN.../RELIGION.-5greets from vienna Edited by platinrubel

Agreed, with me living in Australia it is not obvious that my mother tongue is German, but you living in Austria should have been a good indicator. Btw, good that you were able to establish the age of the medal - based on the grammar and the script it was clear that it had to be older, but otherwise I had no clue. |
