Description
AUSTRIA. St. Vitus Cathedral White Metal Medal, 1873. Franz Josef I. UNCIRCULATED.
Hauser-2277. Weight: 23.25 gms; diameter: 41mm. By Valcav Kriz. Obverse: View of St. Vitus Cathedral in Prague, with ground plat on scroll above, FUNTAMENTUM POSITUM KAL. OCTOBRIS MDCCCLXXIII around; Reverse: Horseman facing left, S. VENCESLAUS M. ECCLESIAE S. VITI FUNDATOR around. A Gothic Revival renovation and completion of the cathedral was undertaken by the architect Josef Kramer under the auspices of the "Union for the Completion of the Cathedral of St. Vitus in Prague". Between 1861-66, repairs and removal of Baroque fabrics led to a Gothic "restoration" of the cathedral's interior. In 1870, foundations were laid for a new nave. After Kramer's death, in 1873 the architect Josef Mocker assumed direction of the reconstruction, designing the west façade in the Gothic manner, which was later realized by the final architect of the restoration, Kamil Hilbert.
