Grade: XF+
Reference: Raczyński 520, Hutten-Czapski 3124

Minted to commemorate the unsuccessful kidnapping of King Stanisław August Poniatowski by the Confederates.

"The king is kidnapped and torn by two hell witches; one holds a penguin, the other a fiery torch. Lightning is falling from the sky, but a hand comes out of the clouds, supporting the king. In the distance you can see Warsaw. The inscription at the top: NOLITE TANGERE CHRISTOS MEOS. It means: do not touch my anointed ones. In the episode: HORA - this is what Edward Raczyński writes about this item.

Medal by Oexlein, signed IL Oexlein on the obverse.

Extremely fine medal with great eye appeal.


Obverse: a king in Roman costume attacked by two Furies, God's hand holding the king from the clouds, HORA X NOCT D III NOV MDCCLXXI

NOLITE TANGERE CHRISTOS MEOS in exerque

Reverse: Providentia escorts the king to the Castle in Warsaw, FIDA POLONIA GAVDET in exerque
