This is the first comprehensive look at the Ostmedaille. In more than 500 pages, the 52 currently known manufacturers are presented in such a way that each Eastern Medal can be identified. Additional chapters on the history, production and distribution, including an in-depth look at the Presidential Chancellery's ordering and administration process based on original documents from the Federal Archives, make this book by far the most comprehensive look at this medal. Author Sindri Arinbjarnarson has also developed a unique system that guides the interested collector through the process of identifying each medal. He has also achieved what was previously impossible: a comprehensive and correct categorisation of makers into meaningful and logical design groups. This book answers all the questions a serious collector may have about this famous medal.
