1904 Vienna Numismatic Society Tour Medal 
We are offering a very beautiful medal from Austria, the 1904 Austrian Silver Medal Issued for Vienna Numismatic Society Tour of Pressburg. The medal is 29.41 mm x 42.1 mm and is made of silver (I had it tested and it came back 94% silver content) (with a total weight of .685 ounces or 19.4 grams). The medal has very beautiful toned silver color, and sharp well detailed and very, very high relief surfaces. Harry writes: This plaquette begs the question: What was in Pressburg in 1904 that the Vienna Club would go see it and then strike a medal memorializing it?
