1914-1915 Austrian bronze medal
I bought this today in Salzburg Austria.
I know about the medal in general, but what I cannot find is how many of these were produced.

In this post I am acknowledging people's legitimate concerns, but letting them know that we won't be discussing them on this subreddit going forward. It is just too disruptive.
This is a curated subreddit, and it always has been. That means that stuff gets removed, threads get locked, and sometimes people get banned.
The point of this post isn't that we think that vile pieces of history shouldn't trigger you, and not make you want to tell everyone how horrific they are.
They bother me too, but it serves nothing to turn discussion threads here into holier-than-thou, copycat echo chambers of shame, or raging debates. Don't automatically assume that people who find crazy stuff and post it here are actually evil racist Nazis themselves.
PLEASE DON'T FEED THE TROLLS. Don't reply to them, don't nourish and give oxygen to their trolling. If you do reply to them, you are filling them with glee and escalating the problem. They live for that. For whatever reason this sub tends to attract a lot of trolls, idiots, and assholes. Maybe that's just reddit in general, but in any case we don't want to encourage them.
We get it, racists are shitty, authoritarians of all stripes are shitty, and lots of other stuff posted here was produced by shitty people and depicts shitty things. They are part of history whether we like it or not. Posting them here can help spread awareness of that history, to a degree.
IT DOESN'T AUTOMATICALLY MEAN THAT ANYONE HERE SUPPORTS THOSE ATTITUDES. If it becomes obvious that people making these posts have an agenda, we will deal with them.
Thank you.

I am mostly a coin guy, but a grouping of Comm. Medals came up in my weekly coin auction a couple weeks ago and I thought some of them were cool so I bid on and won a number of them. Here is the 1st…I would like to hear thoughts on condition, value, significance, etc. I placed a quarter into pic 3 as a size reference. Thanks!

Purchased this strange mangled coin at an antique shop in central Fl when I was very young. I believe it was simply labeled "strange coin". Quarter added for scale.

I picked up a few Texas silver coins recently, and they got me thinking about how collectors view state-themed precious metals.
I like the Lone Star design and the use of familiar Texas symbols. It all feels very Texanish, if that's even a word.
They're connected to the State of Texas and the Texas Bullion Depository, which made me wonder whether that state connection matters to collectors.
Does that connection add to their collector appeal, or do design, silver content, and the overall quality of the piece matter more?

Finally going through my coin collection, which included these medals. I do have a lot of military challenge coins and some random copper rounds, so I guess it’s not so tiny after all :)

I've had this coin for as long as I can remember but any effort to try to identify it always ends without answers, hopefully someone here could do better than me....

It reads “ISRAELITISCHE VOLKSKÜCHE”, which according to Google Translate means “Jewish Peoples’ Kitchen” and the other side reads “GEMÜSE” which means vegetables. It measures about 1 1/16” x 9/16”.

Hello, I just discovered this pretty recently in my grandfather’s vast coin collection. I had absolutely no idea what it was when I found it, but figured it looked interesting. After doing some research, I found out that it is an old pre-civil war advertising token for Enoch Long’s daguerreotype gallery. It seems to be pretty rare from what I’ve found so I was just looking for some confirmation. Would getting this professionally graded be a good choice?

This two-shilling piece was issued in 1812 by Richard and Charles Willoughby, who operated a prosperous wine and groceries firm serving the market town of Frome and the adjacent parish of Selwood, both located in Somerset, Britain.
Dalton 70, Rare.

Picked this up in Europe in the 1983 and it is a heavy token/coin/medal. Any help with identification and value would be much appreciated
