Medals
Reference:6981 Frederick the Great of Prussia: Military Victories, 1759
Large bust to left, luxuriously armoured and ermine-trimmed / a winged Victory inscribes a tablet with the successes of Frederick the Great; Father Time, to right, alludes to this enduring success.
By I. M. Morikofer.
Bronze 49 mm.
Condition: Good Extremely Fine
Notes:
A feint trace of a die disturbance is visible around the left-hand edge of the medal. It indicates that the die did not have a long life and acounts for the extreme rarity of the medal; Morikofer's portrait of Frederick the Great is more commonly found on a silver box medal containing images of Prussian victories (see Archive, 1759, # ).
