Comments

This medal was produced by the Göde Bayerisches Münzkontor and issued with a certificate of authenticity.



Note that the seal has been reproduced in reverse. In the real seal, the eagle looks to the left, the bundle of arrows is to the right and the olive branch to the left. Like this:

Normally, the eagle bears a vertically striped shield, not a star...

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

Cette médaille a été produite par la Göde Bayerisches Münzkontor et délivrée avec un certificat d'authenticité.



Remarquons que le sceau a été reproduit à l'envers. Dans le vrai sceau, l'aigle regarde à gauche, le faisceau de flèches est à droite et le rameau d'olivier à gauche. Comme ceci :

Normalement l'aigle est porteur d'un écu rayé verticalement et non pas garni d'une étoile...
