Very nice bars.

The top bar (2-place) is an unknown maker (budget Zweitstück) piece from c. 1900.

The second bar (5-place) shows a Type A (award-type).

The third bar (3-place) shows a Type B (luxury Zweitstück).

By Zweitstück does that mean the core was struck twice? I know with coins a double struck coin makes for a better looking, crisper image, does this apply to that EKII core?

It means not an issue piece but a private purchase one for wear.

Thank you Don for the explanation.....
