Commemorating the historic 1836 coronation of Empress Maria Anna of Savoy as Queen of Bohemia in Prague, this set of six bronze medallions offers a unique glimpse into numismatic history. These pieces are well-documented antique cast reproductions of the original Austrian State Mint medals. Their identity as historical replicas is confirmed by two distinct casting errors on the reverse: the translation to the English word "GERMANY" rather than the original Latin "GERMANIAE," and a missing "D" in the Roman numeral date. Produced for the English-speaking educational or souvenir market over a century ago, sets like this allowed early collectors to study important historical artifacts. An accompanying suede pouch provides safe storage for this complete set. Unbroken sets of six provide a unique acquisition for historians of the Habsburg Empire.
