Metal: tin alloy
Reference: Bernhard 21, Hoffmeister 4, Klein B 21
Condition : Excellent
Rarity: R3
Note :
The medal is a privately minted propaganda coinage made by the Jews of Prague in imitation of medieval style. Saint Elizabeth (1207–1231) is a prominent national figure and one of the most important symbols of Hungarian identity.
Contrary to what one might think, coinage with this cheap metal appears rarer than that in gold.
Shipping:
Shipping only to EU countries with DHL Express as the carrier.
