Wurttemberg - 1866-91 Commercial Trade Schools Medal
Offered is a very appealing academic award from the German state of Wurttemberg, being issued to pupils of the State Commercial Trade Schools, Ebner#84, Kaiser#10, Klein#14, Raff#10. This 43mm, 38g bronze medal was designed by the regarded medallist Karl Schwenzer, and issued under the reign of Karl I of Wurttemberg (r. 1864-91). The quality of the die sinking on this piece is really top-notch, meaning that the design elements (the bust in particular) really pop.
Condition is very good overall, with considerable red bloom remaining across the clear fields. There are no traces of wear on the crisp devices, and the quality of strike of this example is very good for the type. In all, a scarce and pleasing medal of good size.
