Medal Germany Saint Corbinian of Freising
Corbinian was a French bishop who, in 730AD, ended up in Bavaria, Germany in the town of Freising. A famous story has him taming a bear, and this medal shows the bear, the saint himself, and the town.
It is usually fairly easy to find values for pieces like this. Looking at its picture, the piece is obviously modern, made, perhaps, during the late 1900s. Auction results for modern medals are common on eBay and similar auction sites but, for this medal, there are virtually no auction results available. Without auction results it is difficult to ascertain value.
If the medal were marked 'pure silver' or 'sterling' the value would be obvious: it would be worth its weight in silver. Without such markings we must assume it is made of non-precious metal, and CoinQuest's value estimates are:
circulated: $3 US dollars approximate catalog value
fully uncirculated: $10
