survik1 New Member Czech Republic 4 Posts	Posted 01/15/2016 12:36 am Hello. My grandfather is huge collector and he also got some medals we are not able to identify. The first one is completely mystery. I think it can have something to do with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battl..._Alporchones but that's more like no then yes. About that 10$ coin I could get some information on internet, or at least information regarding to stamps that have been made for same reason. I couldnt find this 10$ coin just its silver variant, 100$ coin. Also do you have any idea what "77" can mean? It actually looks like printed on it. As those two doesn't fit into my grandfathers collection we would like to know what can be estimated price for them so we can trade/sell them. Thank you for your help. Report this Post to the Staff

Petrus Pillar of the Community Belgium 2895 Posts	Posted 02/08/2016 01:37 am #1: perhaps the four shieds should be searched. Can you identify the symbols on the right cross? Right cross : Servia? (shield on the eagle) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingd...%931918).svg Rampant lion : Bulgaria? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingd...27-1946).svg Standing lion: Montenegro? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingd...ntenegro.svg Left cross : Greece? In 1452 this happened: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1452 1912: Balkan war against ottoman empire? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Balkan_War Victory of these 4 countries upon Ottoman empire (cresent moon)? End of the Ottoman empire in that region that started in 1452? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byzan...Ottoman_Wars Just some thoughts..... Which made me find this: http://forum.faleristika.info/viewt...php?t=125911 Not the same, but perhaps the good direction? Edited by Petrus 02/08/2016 02:11 am Report this Post to the Staff
Tryna Pillar of the Community United States 937 Posts	Posted 02/08/2016 2:10 pm the top one: This seems to be celabrating the end of The Old Zurich Wars. In 1452 The Hapsburg lost control of several Swiss Cantons (state like cities or territories)to the confederacy. The two crosses are the same style as the Swiss Cross. The upper lion is a variant of the Swiss Heraldic lion seen on some of the postage stamps in the early 20th century. The North China Famine one is fairly common, at least so as I have seen them before. They were awarded for raising money for the relief fund. A bit like getting a stuffed tiger for helping save the tiger I guess. It most likely commemerates 460 years of the confedercy. If it were mine I would look in that direction for more info. The lower lion is also a heraldic lion, but I cannot say who it represents. Report this Post to the Staff
