Description

1816 Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg Medal, N.C.O.'s issue, Bronze
1816 Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg Medal, N.C.O.'s issue, Bronze, Damascened
42 mm. MY-103.
Original edge mount loop, ring, and slightly frayed decorative green ribbon.
Extremely Fine.
Edge impressed HERZOGTH. GOTHA. VND. ALTENBVRG. MDCCCXIV. MDCCCXV. An attractive Medal, with high points of the design motifs gilt on both sides. Apparently cast, the fields showing a chased texture under scrutiny but glossy overall. Aside from some trivial wear to the gilding, very nicely preserved. The Medals, like this one, with gilt high points were distributed to NCOs in the Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg Foreign Legion during the Germany and Waterloo campaign of 1814 and 1815.
