I am looking for info on a commemorative coin or medal struck in 1754 in Torun, Poland. The medal commemorates the 300th anniversary of the liberation from the Teutonic order.
I have had the coin for approximately 30 years as it was a gift from on old woman whose father had been a statesman from this country to England in the 30's and 40's.
Curious if the medal has any value?

It isn't a coin; while Torun (known at the time by it's German name, "Thorn") was issuing its own coinage in the 1750s, they were minor coins, not commemoratives. Sounds like a medal.

Its value will depend on many factors. What's it made of? How big is it? What condition is it in? And, perhaps most importantly, can you find somebody in America that's interested enough in eastern European history to want to pay fair value for this piece? People over in Poland and/or Germany would certainly be interested in it, but your typical coin dealer in America probably wouldn't want anything to do with it; "foreign medals" rarely sell well.

Probably its not a coin, but still you can get a good value for it is of 1754. You can get it checked by history persons some day.
