On Leo XIII's mediation between Germany and Spain over the possession of the Caroline Islands in the Pacific. 43.6mm in diameter, nice, toned About Unc condition, one rim bump on reverse. Case is in poor condition: top is secured with scotch tape to the hinge and there's some staining. Still, it's the first time we've had a case for a medal of this vintage! By Francesco Bianchi.
