A 40mm, 24.7 gram medal in .999 Silver, issued to commemorate the late 15th century German civil servant Franz Von Taxis, generally considered to be the inventory of the Post Office. Date uncertain, however based on design and appearance, possibly issued for the 500th anniversary of Taxi' birth in 1939. A great piece for the collector of original postal system history
