GERMANY. Medallic Issues. Nurnberg. Silver Medallic Klippe, 1706. UNCIRCULATED Details--Holed.
Montenuovo-1344; Erlanger-2737; Julius-1172. By G. F. Nurnberger. Commemorating the Grand Alliance's Victories in the War of the Spanish Succession. Obverse: Large crowned radiant personification of the sun; three smaller crowns of differing style around; all with double linear and laurel wreath border, with rosette at each angle; Reverse: Large solar eclipse; below, drooping lis, with petals falling off; all with double linear and laurel wreath border, with rosette at each angle.
