Confederation gold "Zurich - Winterthur Shooting Festival" Medal 1895 MS65 NGC, Martin-1046, Richter-1756a (RR). 45mm. 76.33gm. By G. Hantz and H. Wildermuth. One of only 44 pieces struck, this ornate shooting medal boasts high-relief details and near-matte surfaces, with centers set deeply within rims rising high above the fields. Admirably preserved, only the most insignificant and nearly imperceptible hairlines precluding finer certification. The first that we have offered, highly collectible in this gem preservation, and further, the only such example yet certified by NGC.
