Number one dad New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 04/26/2021 1:12 pm I don't really know anything about this interesting medal. Based on the inscriptions it is obviously some type of token or reward for an agricultural society located apparently in Diekirch, Luxembourg. I know that medals were a common reward in this time period, but I'm really curious about the purpose, rarity and potential value of something like this. Do you know anything about this medal or similar medals? Hope someone can enlighten me. Description: Diameter - 44mm Thickness - about 3.175mm Composition - I'm not sure what material this is, but it kinda tings like silver. It seems heavy for its size Report this Post to the Staff

Eligius Valued Member Netherlands 176 Posts	Posted 04/27/2021 06:13 am According to the text on the medal, it was issued to commemorate the 50 year jubilee of the Great Duchy of Luxemburg Agricultural Society for which an exposition and competition was held from 7 - 15 september 1895 in the city of Diekirch. The medal probably was given to the exhibitors or other people involved as a commemorative. This type of medal is very common although this is the first one I see from Luxemburg. I expect the value to be US$ 15-30, a bit more if it is made of silver, depending on the weight. On the photo it looks like a silvered copper or bronze medal as the base metal seems to shine through on the worn spots. An easy and non-destructive way to find out if its silver or not is to determine the specific gravity. Report this Post to the Staff
