German award/exhibition medal, probably Bavarian. The inscription around the edge appears to read « GEFLÜGEL-U. VOGEL-AUSSTELLUNG MÜNCHEN » = « Poultry and Bird Exhibition, Munich » — this is typical of prize medals awarded at poultry competitions/exhibitions in Germany in the 19th or early 20th century. The female portrait with an elaborate hairstyle could represent Bavaria (the allegory of Bavaria) or a royal/imperial figure of the period. Composition Uncertain without testing, but medals of this type and period were commonly struck in: silver (for first prizes) or white metal/nickel silver (for lower prizes). The visible dark grey patina may correspond to either; only a density test or precise weighing would determine the answer.
