Reproduction 1836 Prague coronation medal of Ferdinand I and
Maria Anna Augusta.
Franz Josef 50 year Memorial
Medal 1898, 1- 5/8 inch in diameter.
Small medal included in the 1980
proof set.
A large (approximately 3 inches) reproduction cast commemorative medal
celebrating the coronation of Empress Maria Anna Augusta and Ferdinand l
as queen and king of Bohemia in Prague in September 1836.

Obverse inscribed "MARIA. ANNA. AVGVSTA. FERDINANDI .l . IMP. ET.
REGIS".

Reverse, ET.ALTERA.MIHI. PATRIA/CORON.
PRAGUE.MENSE.SEPT.MCCCXXXVI. Crown on cushion above the
Bohemian coat of arms. The date MCCCXXXVI is 1336 and is an error, it
should read MDCCCXXXVI for 1836.

This reproduction commemorative medal is common (I think) and should be
modest in price although at auction that is not always the case. Sometimes
it is confused with an original piece although it is much larger (I think). I
believe the originals were about the size of a US Silver Dollar, 1-1/2 inch.
They are often advertised as blackened Bronze with the highlights polished.

Maybe the originals were blackened Bronze but this example, I believe, is a
lesser metal than even Bronze, that was Bronze plated and then blackened.
It weighs about 81 grams. Almost all of the black is gone on this example
probably due to a light cleaning sometime in the past.

This and smaller medals of this design are often used as decorations in
plates, bowls and saucers, etc. Universally, almost without an exception,
any medal or coin used in such a fashion has little to no value to collectors
of coins and medals. The plates, bowls and saucers may be collectible in
their own right however and have value to collectors of those items.

The medals used this way are mostly considered damaged goods by coin
or medal collectors. Such items were often mass produced, and were often
then re-produced and copied by many manufactures over a long period of
time.

Hi. This is definitely the reproduction. Because of the error in date and the circumference of the medal. The original was around 6 1/4" in circumference. Diameter is the distance through the middle of the circle. Times it by pi (3.14) to get exact circumference. Still a very cool piece. Just not as old as stated....
