- SWITZERLAND. Basel. Silver Shooting Festival Medal, 1906. NGC MEDAL MS-63. 41 mm. R-131b. By Hans Frei. Soldier in medieval armor standing in town square, with crossbow over shoulder. In exergue; "KANTONAL - SCHÜTZENFEST / BEIDER BASEL / - 1906 - /."; Reverse: Wounded Swiss soldier preparing to throw a rock at French Armagnac Knight Burkhard VII Münch, who was in charge of an advancing force charged with killing the hundreds of injured Swiss fighters. A lucky throw by the wounded soldier caught the advancing Knight through his open visor and killed him - this becoming a symbolic act of defiance to the hopelessly outnumbered Swiss. Matte pearl grey finish, darkening around the major design elements. Estimate: $400 - $600. NGC MEDAL MS-63. Click here for certification details from NGC.
