Vintage Eschenz Heraldic Coat of Arms Pendant | Coinantiquariat
Description
This is an authentic vintage heraldic badge or pendant featuring the official coat of arms of Eschenz, a historic municipality located in the canton of Thurgau, Switzerland. The obverse showcases a beautifully detailed, high-relief owl resting on a branch within a traditional heraldic shield, surmounted by a classic medieval knight's helmet. Below the crest, the name Eschenz is elegantly inscribed in a traditional Gothic blackletter font. The reverse features a hollow, stamped repoussé back with a stippled texture and an integrated loop at the top, indicating it was originally worn as a decorative pendant, a watch fob, or a traditional Swiss souvenir badge. Eschenz, situated along the scenic shores of the Rhine and Lake Constance, has a rich heritage dating back to the Roman settlement of Tasgetium, and its iconic owl crest remains a proud symbol of local history. It is crafted from white metal with an antique patina.
