    YOU ARE BIDDING ON SIGISMUND BATHORY SILVERED COPPER "VICTORY AT TARGOVISTE AND RECAPTURE OF RAAB" MEDAL
    Resch-20 (cf. Table 63) var., Julius-Unl. 78mm. 119.53gm. A highly historical issue created for the Battle of Târgoviste (1595) and the recapture of Raab (1598) as part of the "Long Turkish War", a conflict that arose between the Habsburg monarchy and the Ottomans over territorial disputes in the Principalities of Wallachia, Transylvania, and Moldavia. This selection is probably a reproduction of the original issue but could locate no other examples of either the original or subsequent reproductions for comparison. Presumably very rare, and an intriguing medal for the historically-minded collector.
