More....post more. There is a lot of history in those coins that FilthyBroke and Zantetsuken are posting. I would love to sit down with you two, and just look at your guys collections.

Thanks, and it would be very cool to meet up one day and see in-hand a few of those beautiful talers you have posted here.  I haven't had the chance to share my collection outside of my forum pictures yet. 

The mail just arrived, and to my surprise I now have the first of my budding medal collection.   This thing is massive (59mm)!  I see the allure of larger coins and medals now,  very cool!


This is a bronze medal commemorating the signing of the Treaty of Versaille, showing "peace" on the obverse and the gardens of Versaille on the reverse.

I love the obverse design........she is beautiful
What a great medal to kick off your collection

Thanks Stefanie,  it was just one of those "must-haves" if you know what I mean. 

Now that is nice

Now that is nice

Thanks, Don.  Here's one for you, I know you appreciate the city views-

This silver medal/plaque is 87mm, and quite hefty!

Oh, and it weighs in at over six ounces!

Very nice design. Yes, City Views are my fav.    WOW!! 87mm, now that is a large piece.

Thanks, I couldn't believe when it weighed in at 6.5 ounces, I have to wonder how these things can sell for so close to silver spot prices.  I'll admit that I don't know the purity, but most jetons are said to be about 95% silver, any ideas on the medals?

I wish I could help with an answer, but I do not know.
