This striking bronze portrait plaque features a relief profile of Carl Eduard, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, a key figure in early 20th-century German nobility. The plaque is housed in its original fitted case, lined with luxurious cream-colored fabric and secured in a tan velvet-covered box with a gold-tone clasp.
The obverse of the plaque prominently displays the Duke's profile, with his full name inscribed around the edge:
"CARL EDUARD HERZOG VON SACHSEN-COBURG-GOTHA." The level of detail in the engraving captures his strong features and distinguished bearing.
Below his likeness, the artist's signature and "1934" can be seen, indicating its date of manufacture. The reverse of the plaque is unmarked, with a smooth, polished finish.
Historical Significance
Carl Eduard was the last reigning Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, ruling from 1905 to 1918, when he was forced to abdicate following World War I. A grandson of Queen Victoria and closely tied to European royal families, he later became involved in German nationalist movements. This plaque was likely issued in 1934, marking an important period in his political and social trajectory.
This is an excellent historical artifact, ideal for collectors of Imperial German and European aristocratic memorabilia.
