Richter, Jurg. DIE SCHUTZENTALER UND SCHUTZENMEDAILLEN DER SCHWEIZ. H. Gietal Verlag & Publikationservice GMBH, Regenstauf. 2005. 4to. 408 pages. Original pictoral boards. b&w and color plates throughout. Fine. This book deals with both the history and the historical background of the Schutzentaler and rifle medals in Switzerland. More than 2100 talers and medals from the early 17th century to 1960 are described and largely illustrated. Details of the rarity and value of each individual piece are included in two grades of preservation. Several hundred medals are shown in this catalog for the first time. The highlights of this high-quality volume range from embossing from the middle of the 19th century through to magnificently designed medals from the Art Nouveau period. Extremely rare pieces, often even unique pieces, especially from the early years of the marksmen' festival can be seen. Towards the end of the 19th century, different commemorative coinages were often issued for the same rifle festival on important occasions. These wonderfully designed contemporary witnesses are still an expression of this sport and its patriotic ideas. With this publication, a new standard work is presented to the reader interested in numismatics. Lot weight: 4 lbs 9oz. Subject(s): Swiss Coinage, Medals.
