RogerRamjet Valued Member United States 172 Posts	Posted 03/19/2019 9:25 pm It does look like a European cityscape. There are many aspects of the design that are artistically poor, such as the sun's rays not being radial or evenly spaced. I suspect this is a low quality artwork copy of a European cityscape medal. An original medal like this would probably have high silver content. It might be useful to see if a magnet sticks to this one. Report this Post to the Staff
alganbagerap Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2490 Posts	Posted 03/19/2019 9:49 pm The city is Rothenburg, Germany and this is the medal (which has been driving me crazy since the moment it was posted because I was certain that I knew it) https://www.ma-shops.com/mages/item...2281&lang=es Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16842 Posts	Posted 03/20/2019 8:24 pm A bit of trivia: Hidden in the Latin inscription is a chronogram which tells the date. Take all the larger-than-normal letters (LVXDIIVILVLVLVMIV), convert each of those letters into its Roman-numeral equivalent number, and add all the numbers up, and you get 1744 - the date the medal was issued. The Germans of this time period liked putting little puzzles like that on their coins and medals. I would also agree that it seems to be a replica. Would need better pics of both sides to be more certain. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C.
