Bavaria. Karl Theodor gold "Royal Marriage" Medal ND (1796) MS62 NGC, Wittelsbach-2449, Stemper-618. 44mm. 41.8gm. Struck upon the remarriage of Karl Theodor to Maria Leopoldina of Austria, the present selection, with its bold portraits and shimmering fields, represents an item of considerable rarity, previously described by Gerhard Hirsch Nachfolger as "probably the only one known on the [market]". An attractive example, crafted to high relief, and an opportunity unlikely to be encountered again for a considerable time.
