Germany > Bavaria: bronze medal commemorating Albrecht (Albert) III der Fromme, Duke of Bavaria-Munich; by Franz Andreas Schega (1711-1787); circa. 1766-70; 39.5mm, 34.1g. Obverse depicts bust of Albertus in hat with Latin legend "ALBERTUS III. BOIOR.DUX.". On reverse, reverse bears a 9-line legend in Latin, highlighting Albrecht's (1438-1460) accomplishments, among them the expulsion of the Jews from Upper Bavaria (in 1445). Thick planchet. The 9th medal of Schega's 17-piece series of portrait medals of Bavarian rulers. In EF-AU: some light scratches in places, but excellent detail overall and signs of luster in places (Forrer, vol. 5, p. 377).
