Commemorative medals
Medals for special events
A commemorative medal is a medal that commemorates a memorable event or an important personality through its inscription or motif. Traditionally, commemorative medals are based on commemorative coins, which have always served as both an investment product and a means of payment. Historically, the development of commemorative coins goes back far into the last centuries. Primarily, commemorative coins were issued on special occasions - often showing reigning rulers and rulers in profile on their mintages.
Almost everyone aspired to be publicly honored with a commemorative coin for an outstanding achievement, so that the proud bearers of a commemorative coin received constant recognition. The personalities depicted on the motifs of the coins were at the same time revered and gained popularity. Commemorative coins thus played a key role in the political marketing of the early modern era and the 19th century.

A medal for any occasion
The commemorative medal, which has become extremely popular, is defined in a completely different way by its purely sentimental value - it is issued without a nominal value and is minted as a commemorative piece with meaningful motifs or personalities. It can be designed individually and according to personal standards and design ideas. Since the commemorative medal is not a means of payment, but rather serves as a timeless and at the same time elegant souvenir, the minting motif of the medal is of particular importance.
Commemorative medals are usually awarded publicly as a sign of recognition. Since such a traditional award is an act of appreciation, the commemorative medal should appropriately reflect the significance of the event and the reason for the award - after all, it is the focus of the ceremonial award along with the recipient of the medal.
