NumisRob Bedrock of the Community United Kingdom 17918 Posts	Posted 03/01/2018 2:59 pm Hello and I think you have a modern medallion produced as a tourist souvenir for a town in Germany. There is a group of German cities nicknamed "Barbarossastadt" because the Holy Roman Emperor Frederic Barbarossa stayed there, so that explains the portrait on the obverse. Gelnhausen seems to be the main city that has this name. There's a Wikipedia entry here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbarossa_city Specifically it looks as if the medallion shows this ruined castle in Gelnhausen: https://www.flickr.com/photos/aldab...26616005821/ My Trade List: https://goccf.com/t/194596 My Wants List: https://goccf.com/t/191710 Edited by NumisRob 03/01/2018 3:06 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 03/01/2018 3:05 pm to the forums Took the liberty to orient and enlarge a bit. Looks to be a Catholic/Lutheran? German religious token or medal. Honoring Saint Frederick perhaps and depicting where it is from. Or perhaphs: It is a tourist souvenier from Gelnhausen Castle https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frede...f_Gelnhausen Edited by Crazyb0 03/01/2018 3:15 pm Report this Post to the Staff
