315 Years of MEISSEN Gold-plated medal

Medal - 315 Years of MEISSEN (Gilded Silver)

This elegant gilded silver medal honors the long-standing history and exceptional craftsmanship of the MEISSEN porcelain manufactory. The obverse features four of the manufactory's most iconic and influential designs: the Onion Pattern, the Fortune Dragon, the Swan Service, and Mystic Maison. Together, they symbolize the diversity, innovation, and artistic excellence that have defined MEISSEN for more than three centuries.

The finely detailed motifs are complemented by a hand-crafted porcelain plaque bearing the crossed MEISSEN swords, the historic trademark of the manufactory. This distinctive element gives the medal its unmistakable character.

The reverse depicts historical motifs and significant porcelain works closely associated with 315 years of MEISSEN history. These include Albrechtsburg Castle in Meissen, a historic view of the city of Meissen, the Kratervase, an Onion Pattern plate, as well as renowned figures such as Kaendler's Monkey Orchestra Conductor.

This medal is not legal tender, but an artistically crafted minted object without a face value. The combination of fine silver with an elegant gold plating lends the piece a particularly refined appearance, making it a distinguished collector's item that unites heritage, craftsmanship, and lasting value.
