Almost identical to post 40 on page 3 of this thread - Mainz City Bronze Medal 1840 

Bronze medal 1840, by König. To the 400th anniversary of the invention of the printing press. Bust of Johannes Gutenberg with fur hat and coat / Guttenberg in workshop with printing press.


Under the bust of Gutenberg can be seen   LOOS D. KONIG G.   This is not on the silver medal in post  40



The inscription  DAS IST VON HERRN GESCHEHEN UND EIN WUNDER VOR UNSEREN AUGEN    PS.118 V.23  is missing around the edge, although the psalm and verse number do appear under the image of Gutenberg on the silver medal.
