Poland, Augustus III, portrait medal in pewter by Christian Wermuth, bust right, reverse Queen Maria Josepha to left, 52mm. Good very fine (£30-40)

This medal, which may relate to Augustus III’s accession to the Polish throne, or his coronation, appears to be unrecorded in Cordula Wohlfahrt’s important work on Wermuth (Christian Wermuth ein deutscher Medailleur der Barockzeit,London, 1992)
