25444 Portugal Large Bronze Medal Lisbon Eathquake 1755 AU 189.99
Wonderful bronze medal, approx 47mm across, stuck in 1775 to commemorate the building of Lisbon after the devestating 1755 earthquake. Depicts equestrian statue of King John V of Portugal, rev group of standing female figures indicate towards the figure on the left, who holds a plan and a set square.

The 1755 Lisbon earthquake, also known as the Great Lisbon Earthquake, took place on November 1, 1755 at 9:40 in the morning. The earthquake was followed by a tsunami and fire, which caused near-total destruction of Lisbon and adjoining areas. Geologists today estimate the Lisbon earthquake approached magnitude 9 on the Richter scale, with an epicenter in the Atlantic Ocean about 200 km (120 mi) west-southwest of Cape St. Vincent. Estimates place the death toll between 60,000 to 100,000 people, making it one of the most destructive earthquakes in history.

The earthquake accentuated political tensions in Portugal and profoundly disrupted the country's eighteenth-century colonial ambitions. The event was widely discussed and dwelt upon by European Enlightenment philosophers, and inspired major developments in theodicy and in the philosophy of the sublime. As the first earthquake studied scientifically for its effects over a large area, it led to the birth of modern seismology.

28536 Turkey Greek War Medal 1897 Ottoman Empire Silver AU 104.99
Silver, holed as issued, aprox 25mm across

This medal was awarded for the 30 day war with Greece in 1897. After Greece had come within a breath of invading Crete, prevented only by mediation from the Western powers, groups of militant Greeks went to Crete to fight a guerilla war against the Turkish government there. At the same time, another Greek army led by Price Constantine of Greece invaded Turkish territory near Ioannina. This gave the Sultan ample justification for a declaration of war, and a Turkish force from Monastir pushed the Greek force back into Thessaly, where it routed a Greek counterattack and advanced to the Gulf of Volo before the Greeks could put up an adequate defense. At this point the Western powers intervened. The Turks withdrew in exchange for monetary compensation, and were allowed to repatriate some Turkish refugees. The outcome of the campaign served to bolster Abdulhamid's prestige among Ottoman subjects, forestalling the reform movement of the Young Turks. The medal of the Greek war is silver, 24 mm. diameter, worn from a ribbon of four red and three green stripes of equal width. The obverse bears the tughra of Abdulhamid II, surrounded by a laurel wreath, with a distinctive feature: a rose at the bottom of the wreath.

On October 7, 1593, Venice founded Palmanova. The city’s founding date commemorated the victory of European forces (supplied primarily by the Venetian republic) over Ottoman Turks in the Battle of Lepanto. Using the newest military innovations of the 16th century, this tiny town was a fortress in the shape of a nine-pointed star, designed by Vincenzo Scamozzi.

The outer line of fortifications was completed under the Napoleonic domination.

Pasquale Cicogna was the Doge of Venice from 1585 to 1595. He supported the claim of Henry of Navarre to the French throne, and convinced Pope Sixtus V to support Henry in exchange for his conversion to Catholicism.

24988 Netherlands LARGE Medal 1869 Remonstrants Rotterdam 59.99
Bronze medal, large at 61mm across, plain edge, no edge mark, lovely proof like UNC, dated 1869, engraved by J. Elion, a Dutch medallist. Remonstrants, the name given to those Dutch Protestants who, after the death of Arminius, maintained the views associated with his name, and in 1610 presented to the states of Holland and Friesland a remonstrance in five articles formulating their points of departure from stricter Calvinism. This is likely a medal from a meeting or synod in Rotterdam,which is where the sect was generally centered, in 1869. Arminianism is a school of soteriological thought within Protestant Christianity based on the theological ideas of the Dutch Reformed theologian Jacobus Arminius (1560-1609) and his historic followers, the Remonstrants. The doctrines' acceptance stretches through much of mainstream Christianity, including evangelical Protestantism. James (Jacob) Arminius (1560-1609) was a Dutch theologian who studied, taught, and eventually broke with Calvinism. He was particularly at odds with John Calvin's emphasis on unconditional election and irresistible grace. The Synod of Dort (1618-19) strongly reaffirmed ultra-Calvinism in reaction to Arminius' growing influence. As a result, hundreds of Arminians -- also known as Remonstrants -- were removed from their pulpits. But Arminianism was not to be conquered. Its strong emphasis on free-will, salvation for all, and resistible grace, continued to be influential, finding perhaps its strongest proponent in John Wesley. This medal, and the synod in Rotterdam, may have been made in relation to the 250th anniversary of the Synod of Dort.

200th Anniversary of the birth of the Dutch painter, Jan Havickszoom Steen (1626-1679). His best known painting is "The Prince's Birthday." He also kept an inn in Leiden, and for a time ran a brewery in Delft, which explains why many of his paintings are humorous scenes set in taverns.
New Year
22747 Germany Medal New Years Mayer 1928 Child & Ball UNC 69.99
Bronze, 71mm x 51mm, 86 grams, unsigned, from the firm of Mayer Wilhelm of Stuttgart, inscription PROSIT NEUJAHR / STUTTG. METALLW. FABRIK WILH. MAYER U FRZ. WILHELM STUTTGART. This piece is ex Moeller auction #39 lot 2568. They graded it matte proof and it is just a hair away from as made.

A New Year's medal from Mayer Wilhelm of Stuttgart - the manufacturer of medals in Germany in the late 19th and early 20th century. A neat genre and a good cross section of the early 20th century medallic art. Nice image, a child literally "kicking off" the year. Mayer Wilhelm, as a maker of medals made these as presentation pieces to clients, as promotional pieces for potential clients, and no doubt sold them publicly as gift and collector's pieces.

The striking of New Year's medals for presentation and gifts has a long history but has always been particularly popular in Germany and Austria. They are a fascinating genre of collecting with a lot of interesting imagry like Father Time, Janus. Beginning around the turn of the century with the renewed interest in medallic art among the expanding middle class, New Year's medals made a comeback with firms like Mayer Wilhelm in Stuttgart and Bruder Schneider in Vienna.

GARFIELD. Rev. Above, representation of the White House; center, a scene depicting a boy on horseback towing boat in canal; below, inscription, CANAL BOY 1845, PRESIDENT 1881.

Garfield held a seat in Congress from 1862 until his election to the Presidency. He was the compromise choice of the Republican convention in 1880, nominated on the 32nd ballot. He won the election by a razor-thin margin, only to fall to an assassin months after taking office.

The last president born in a log cabin, as a child Garfield dreamed of a seafaring life, but instead worked for a time pulling flatboats on the Ohio Canal. This medalet harks back to those early days. We offer a fine specimen.

Traditionally believed to have been instigated by Catherine de' Medici, the mother of King Charles IX, the massacre took place six days after the wedding of the king's sister to the Protestant Henry III of Navarre (the future Henry IV of France). This marriage was an occasion for which many of the most wealthy and prominent Huguenots had gathered in largely Catholic Paris.
