SWITZERLAND. Battle of Sempach 500th Anniversary Silver Medal, 1886. NGC PROOF-66 Ultra Cameo.
SM-106. By Hugues Bovy. Diameter: 43mm. Struck to commemorate the Battle of Sempach, which occurred in 1386. An absolutely stunning medal that resembles a modern proof because of its boldly struck devices and sharp cameo contrast. While the centers display frosty devices that remain generally bright silver, the periphery flaunts mottled lilac and deeper purple hues. One of the most remarkable Bovy medals we have offered of late, and undoubtably worthy of the strongest bids.
Estimate: $200 - $300
