ChrisB Posted November 17, 2024 · Patron Posted November 17, 2024 Local coin show pick up. Overpaid because of the provenance. Anyone want to take a stab at the handwriting on the paper tag? I'm not even sure it is English. Germany (Hamburg) Silver Medal (Jeton) ND (XVIII) - Fourth commandment Weight: 3.1 g Diameter: 21mm. Obverse.: 3 buckets with little trees, in the pots. "WOL DEM DER FREUD / AN SEINEN KIN - / DERN / ERLEBT" Reverse.: 2 commandment boards with text. "DU SOLT DEINEN UATER UND DEINE MUTTER EHREN / AUF DAS DIRS WOL GEHE". Böttcher 257; Goppel 1142. 1 Quote
Benefactor DonnaML Posted November 17, 2024 · Benefactor Benefactor Posted November 17, 2024 I think it's German, which I don't read. Although I think the heading says Miscellanea. I believe the next line starts with Silber.... The second line beneath appears to end with Tafeln, meaning panels or boards. The next line probably refers to the 3 buckets, and the next one says 22 mm 3 gr. 4 Quote

I appreciate your response. 1 Quote
