Rhenish Confederation. Karl Theodor von Dahlberg gold Medal of 10 Ducats MDCCCX (1810) MS62 NGC, Julius-2241, Bram-940, Joseph/Fellner-1004. 40mm. 36.27gm. Commemorating the Constitution of the Grand Duchy of Frankfurt and Karl Theodor von Dahlberg's elevation to the position of Grand Duke of Frankfurt following the Treaty of Schönbrunn in 1810, with the obverse bearing his new title and the reverse displaying an angel flying above a city view of Frankfurt and bestowing it with flowers and a cornucopia of fruits. The design attests to the Grand Duke's early and enduring ties to the church and the study of canon law--having been elected to the Archbishopric of Mainz, the Bishopric of Worms, and Bishopric of Constance--carrying the Benedictine slogan ORA ET LABORA ("Prayer and Work") prominently above the reverse scene. Linking together the threads of early hopes of a unified Germany with the overriding influence of Napoleonic France, this exceptional and historically significant medal is certain to appeal to both students of early 19th century European history and connoisseurs of academically and visually inspiring exonumia.
