Bicentennial of the Siege of Vienna 1883

Anton Scharff's "Bicentennial of the Siege of Vienna" (1883) is a silver medal commemorating the 200th anniversary of the 1683 siege of Vienna, where a coalition of European forces under King Jan III Sobieski defeated the Ottoman army. The medal's central design features the coat of arms of the Holy Roman Empire, surrounded by four portraits: Sobieski, Leopold I, Charles V, and the prince of Lorraine. It also depicts the city of Vienna and the date of the battle, "XII SEPT MDCCCLXXXII" (September 12, 1683).
