Definizione

• This is not, strictly speaking, a coin, but a commemorative medal, and common to Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. In former times when citizens were frequently called upon to defend their homes and property, these pieces had considerable significance, but at present they only commemorate a shooting festival held under government auspices, or are issued as rewards to such persons as are successful in the shooting contests. See Tir Federal.
