Moses Mendelssohn (1729-1786). Medal in his Honor. Silver. Germany, 18th century
Silver medal in honor of Moses Mendelssohn, founder of the Haskala movement. By artist I. Abraham. Germany, 18th century. Diameter of 43 mm. 29 grams. Silver. The obverse features a bust of Mendelssohn and the artist's name. The reverse depicts a cracked human skull topped by a mosquito, possibly symbolizing Chazal's description of Titus' death. With the text NATUS MDCCXXIX and PHAEDON (born 1729). The lack of a day of death indicates that the medal was issued while Mendelssohn was still alive. Light dents and repair to the rim. VF.
