DaBoz Valued Member United States 80 Posts	Posted 06/07/2009 07:53 am Just picked up this rare historic medal. Graf Zeppelin 1929 World Tour Silver Medal, commemorating the Round-the-World Trip 1929. This was created by the sculptor Glöckler who was renowned for his superior designs. The medal has on the obverse a triple portrait of gentlemen with the title 'Zeppelin Der Schöpfer, Eckener Der Führer, Dürr Der Erbauer' (Zeppelin the Creator, Eckener the leader [captain], Dürr the builder). On the reverse is a globe image with 'Tokio 19.8 23.8', 'Los Angeles 26.8 27.8 / 29.8 8.8 2.9', 'Friedrichshafen 10.8 15.8 4.9'. Large title around the outside 'I Weltfahrt Des Luftschiffs "Graf Zeppelin" 1929' (First around-the-world journey of the airship "Graf Zeppelin" 1929) This medal was issued in 1929 by 'Preuss. Staatsmünze Silber 900 Fein' (Prussian State Coin [mint], silver [grade] 900 fine) - marked around the rim. The medal is 36 mm wide and weighs 26 grams Report this Post to the Staff
