MAGNIFY

This fine bronze table medal (approx 6cms) commemmorates Baron von Krobatin's service as War Minister, 1914-16. It is signed by the artist (A.HARTIG) on both sides. The reverse shows the 42cm mortar, the largest of the Austrian mortars of WW1. An example of this can be seen in Vienna.

The condition is excellent, the mortar side being slightly crisper with more traces of original gilt finish. The bust of the general has lost some of its gilt and has begun to patinate to a not displeasing colour (perhaps kept uppermost in a case in someone's cabinet).
