This is one of the most beautiful toned proof medals I have ever seen.  I believe it spent some years in an album.

I got to photograph it about a year ago using axial lighting.  : )

The medal is outstanding, the pose of the reverse figure and the overall design is five stars.
The depiction of Bismark is rendered in such a manner it almost appears to be a much later 20Th Century piece.

Drool.
