Thanks Dakota,
yeah, the translations were clear –
just the value – and yes, you are right, is it a real thing?
I’m not so sure about Ferdinand I …
Ferdinand’i’ is genitive, means ‘whose’, thus ‘Anna Maria Augusta OF the Ferdinand-line’. ???
Yeah, I switched the numbers : 1836
Germany et Altera Mihi Patria
Germany (which was Austria back then) and my other home country

It looks like the hardest part is to decide if it is the real thing or if it is a reproduction.
Maybe you can contact someone at one of the above links for more info.
I hope this helps. :)

Hi,
If this medal is firmly implanted in a bowl or plate then chances are it is a reproduction. If it were real you would most likely have to damage it in order to get it out of the bowl. Its pretty cool regardless.
Regards,
John
