This hallmarked silver plaque is cast in relief with the head of Count Stepan Tisza, Prime Minister of Hungary in 1914, assassinated in 1918 by the Bolsheviks in their short-lived rising in Hungary. Also cast in relief are: his name and title in Hungarian, the date 1907 (top left), and the sculptor's monogram FBO, or a combination of these (right).
It measures approximately 5.5 x 7.5 cms (2 x 3") and is marked on the back with the maker's mark 'J.C.' in an oblong punch (top left) and a Vienna or Budapest mint mark (top right). The condition is excellent. It has a nice, dark, even patination. This weighs 152gm.
