pero New Member Slovenia 2 Posts	Posted 03/18/2011 3:11 pm Hi! Here's a thing. A few days ago, I found grandpa's old book with keylock. Inside of it, there were about 10 silver coins. I've managed to identify all of them except one. This one is 28mm in diameter. It doesn't have any numeric value on it, that's why I presume that it is actually a medal or something. One one side, there is profile of Goethe, on the other, there is a profile of Schiller. So I guess it's German. I took few pictures of it. So if anybody knows what this is...please help! Thanks for your help. Edited by pero 03/19/2011 07:02 am Report this Post to the Staff

"Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller (10 November 1759 -- 9 May 1805) was a German poet, philosopher, historian, and playwright. During the last seventeen years of his life (1788--1805), Schiller struck up a productive, if complicated, friendship with already famous and influential Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. They frequently discussed issues concerning aesthetics, and Schiller encouraged Goethe to finish works he left as sketches. This relationship and these discussions led to a period now referred to as Weimar Classicism. They also worked together on Die Xenien, a collection of short satirical poems in which both Schiller and Goethe challenge opponents to their philosophical vision." Do not know when your medal was made though.. Report this Post to the Staff
