Foreign coin

[rodarian]

I dug this coin/token a couple weeks ago and I've been trying to find out what is. I can't find anything about it but for the fact that it's German. If anyone can give me some help with this, it would be greatly appreciated.

I'm sorry. Here they are.

I believe it a medallion, not a coin with a reverse image similar to this one:

The phrase is something line "diligence is blessed with wages".

Kind of an "attaboy" for soldiers and workers.

Can anyone tell me if this is worth anything? I think it's silver, comes up as a solid 94 but it doesn't feel as heavy as it should.

It is a medal for meritorious service in the field (no pun intended) of Horticulture.

Those links provided show it selling for 225 Euros (approx $250 US) a couple of years ago. That one in the auction looked uncirculated. Your copy looks pretty good, too. You might try poking around on eBay and see if anything like this sold recently. I couldn't find anything on eBay while searching with the German name, Leipziger Münzhandlung, but maybe it's called something else in English.
