It features very similar types and legends, but the trophy reverse is slightly different. The trophy itself is now composed of a panoply of armour with two figure-eight shields attached to the arms while two round shields are propped up at its base, the one on the right with additional spears on top. This reverse is a rare variant of the already rare preceding type. Estimate: 5000 CHF |  |
