echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 04/02/2010 10:17 pm Interesting bronze medal. This is what I was able to find about it. It's a coronation medal of the Empress Maria Anna & Emperor Ferinand I as King and Queen of Bohemia in Prague on Sept 1836. Report this Post to the Staff
Jeff 11 Valued Member United Kingdom 497 Posts	Posted 04/03/2010 10:01 am Interestingly, it's got the date wrong - The medal has MCCCXXXVI- 1336, it should be MDCCCXXXVI - 1836. I wonder if they were all like that from this issue? also unusual to find 5 identical at one garage sale, nice find. www.kingstoncoincompany.co.uk Report this Post to the Staff

Many of the websites you can find about this medal by typing in the exact Latin phrases into Google also mention the incorrect date. It seems to be a common feature of this medal. 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. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
