retiredkper Pillar of the Community United States 541 Posts	Posted 08/21/2023 9:00 pm Legend on the medal states that he was one of the many world famous people in history. Famous for what it doesn't say! Edited by retiredkper 08/21/2023 9:03 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34410 Posts	Posted 08/21/2023 9:32 pm @the, first welcome to CCF. Second, I suspect that this round was originally part of a group with multiple famous people from history, somewhat similar to the sets that Littleton Co. puts together in the USA. I only see the silver purity and a copyright symbol. Is there any marking at all on the edge?

Sap Moderator Australia 16829 Posts	Posted 08/21/2023 9:45 pm Wikipedia says that Hans Moser was an Austrian comedy actor, both pre-war and post-war. The medal obviously dates to sometime after Moser's death in 1964. I can't find any other examples of the medal either. Given the German language, I would assume they were made in Germany/Austria, and any Internet references to them are in German. I would guess the issuer was a Franklin-Mint-style "medal of the month" seller. There's nothing stamped on the edge?
