Comments
Hans Frei (1868-1947) was a medallist, engraver and sculptor from Basel, and is considered one of the great masters of Swiss medals.
Trained in Basel and perfected in Vienna, Paris and Geneva, he left a body of work of over 400-450 medals and plaques, often linked to shooting festivals, jubilees or figures from Swiss history. Source Wikipedia
The medal is also available in silver (52.5g, hallmark 900), Richter-45a.
