Bronze medal, with original suspension ring, issued for the International Exposition of Metals held in Nuremberg in 1885. The obverse presents a detailed panoramic view of the city of Nuremberg, with its main historic buildings dominating the skyline, topped by the German imperial eagle and a crown, in a composition of rich architectural detail and excellent depth of engraving. The reverse shows an elaborate allegorical ensemble formed by a large ornamental vase, heraldic shields and emblems related to metallurgy and the decorative arts, surrounded by the commemorative inscription of the exposition dedicated to works created in noble metals. The specimen preserves an attractive natural brown-gold color, with fully defined reliefs, even fields and abundant original mint luster, features fully in keeping with the MS63 grade awarded by NGC. This medal stands as a distinguished testament to Nuremberg’s industrial and artistic vigor during the German Empire, when international expositions spurred the development of metallurgy, crafts, and the applied arts.
