Commemorative Ludwigskirche Medallion

This item is a circular commemorative medallion or token featuring a detailed relief of 'Die Ludwigskirche' (St. Ludwig's Church) in Saarbrücken, Germany. The medallion is struck in a gold-colored metal, likely brass or a gold-plated base metal, and features a polished, proof-like finish with a dark, perhaps enameled or patinated, background that makes the architectural details stand out. The church is depicted in a frontal 3/4 view, showcasing its distinct Baroque architecture, including the central tower and symmetrical wings. Above the image, the text 'DIE LUDWIGSKIRCHE' is embossed in an arching sans-serif typeface. At the very bottom, there are small hallmarks or a maker's mark consisting of three illegible characters. The piece appears to be in good condition with minor surface wear and light edge abrasions consistent with gentle handling or storage. The reverse side is not visible, but these items often contain descriptive text or heraldic symbols. It is a modern commemorative piece, likely manufactured in the late 20th century as a souvenir or collector's item. The level of detail in the strike indicates high-quality industrial craftsmanship.
