Thanks again Pabst. That looks like a very useful site that I must peruse soon.
The medallet (or whatever the correct term is) on the web site is in fact pictured on the same page as another I came across: Mod 337 is a smaller, silver version of "my"
medal (a
Modesti 326) but without the outer ring and has the date rendered as MDCD. It's undoubtedly by the same maker. Interestingly,
Modesti 336 appears to be of the same overall design, probably of the same maker but uses the date 1900. I'd overlooked the
medal you mentioned in haste. I'm not sure I totally understand the arrangement, but these smaller souvenir were basically grouped together with a number assigned but no individual discussion. A dozen or so of the smaller pieces were pictured on the page and only two of them (the silver one and the one you mention) have the odd date arrangement. I will look into the site you mentioned to see if there are others. I frankly hadn't looked carefully at the group listings of the smaller pieces. I haven't spent much time with the
Modesti Leo book since its not been of immediate interest so I need to correct that.
By contrast. most larger pieces including the one I pictured (which is just under 39mm) have more
complete listings, often a page or so each, altho I'm frankly not sure that the nature of mine is really much different than those in the group listing. I did go thru the larger pieces more carefully and the results were as I mentioned before.
At any rate, this is what makes collecting so much fun for me. These older unofficials are a real bear to tie down, so the
hunt goes on! What fun...
