1896. 2 1/8" diameter (57mm). Niggl #1431. In very good condition. A few very minor spots on verso.
A round brass medallion by Anton Scharff with a deep, crisp impression showing Mozart in profile after the famous 1789 Leonard Posch engraving. The verso shows a group of cupids frolicking in the clouds, some playing instruments.
