ame5057 New Member United States 34 Posts	Posted 02/09/2018 2:49 pm I tried researching this medal only to find mention of it in books/catalogs that are 100+ years old. There seems to be replicas made in the mid 1850's of this "supposedly unique" medal but I couldn't even find auction results for the replicas. Does anyone have any information regarding this? It is the correct 40mm diameter, and the bezel looks like it was added 30-50 years ago (my estimate). I can't get a weight on the medal itself as I am hesitant to take it out of the bezel if it has significant value. Any information would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

ame5057 New Member United States 34 Posts	Posted 02/09/2018 5:01 pm Yes the strike is definitely weak, I noticed that immediately. I forgot to note there is lettering on the bottom of the neck which can't be seen in the pictures, consistent with other examples of that obverse (the reverse I can't find any other examples of).

MeadowviewCollector Pillar of the Community United States 4409 Posts	Posted 02/09/2018 6:49 pm I found this sold listing on ebay from February 2014, the images are long gone but the description seems to match http://www.ebay.ie/itm/BRONZE-NAPOL...321316827730 That listing the seller stated the weight was approximately 40 grams. The above medal sold for 41 Great Britain Pounds Maybe this will be of some assistance. Report this Post to the Staff
ame5057 New Member United States 34 Posts	Posted 02/10/2018 12:19 am I did see that auction, but this is definitely not bronze. An example of a genuine bronze one can be seen here: http://collections.rmg.co.uk/collec...s/38271.html I'm assuming that auction was a replica like mine, so it might be worth roughly the same though. Article about the original: https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/...cle/55835176 But I still can't find an auction result for this silver copy. If anyone has any further info please let me know!! Thanks! Edited by ame5057 02/10/2018 12:21 am Report this Post to the Staff
