Claudio: what is the second Carl Eduard medal made out of? It looks nicer than zink.

Rick,

The first Carl Eduard Medal is definately silver with a nice patina. The second one I am not so sure. I still have some doubts about determing the various types of metal. It doesn't seem to be bronze IMO looking from the color of the medal, but for sure is not zink. I have to look it up in my reference books (Nimmergut Handbücher) what kind of variants were produced.

Ciao,

Claudio
