Medal with no reference on the net

[Guest montysghost]

Hi All

Found this site a couple of days ago when searching for information on some coins my new partner has. Since researching these coins I have become more interested in the hobby and want to start collecting.

I know this is mainly for British coins, but I think I am going to start with German coins as the bulk of the coins we have are German, with some Check,Polish, Russian and european.

My current problem is this Bronze medal as in the scans below.

It is dated 1881 and the wording translates to Country Trade Exhibition 1881, above the date 1881 is the medal makers name K. Schwenzer, who made many of these type of medals around this date. Although I have seen many photos of medals made by this maker and from other dates and exhibitions. I can find no info for this one. I was wondering if anyone would have any thoughts as to what the best way of researching this medal would be.

Any Help would be great

Thanks

Found the following link,

Date and Rev inscription seems to tie up with the subject matter, but I can't read or translate

Best of luck

Thanks John

I believe that poster relates to the subject. The Trade exhibit of 1881. Currently I am in contact with a museum in Stuttgart who claim to have a similar medal I wait their reply to my mail.
