SWITZERLAND. Bern Cantonal Shooting Festival in Burgdorf Bronze Medal, 1891. NGC MS-64 Brown.
R-215b; Martin-133. By Franz Homberg, Bern. 45mm. Obverse: Winged cherub holding shooting target which is enclosed in a wreath; star above, clouds below, perimeter legend; Reverse: Soldier in period uniform standing right, with the Arms of Bern at his feet; city view and landscape in background, perimeter legend above. A most attractive example of this issue with a pleasing mix of bronze, aqua, and plum toning on its sharp, well-executed features. Note that the "R-215b" designation on the holder is in error; R-215c is the correct designation for a bronze specimen in the most recent edition of Richter.
