Hello all,
Has anyone ever encountered a medallion like this. I can't find anything. The price was right so I took a chance. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

One side shows a panorama of Nuremberg above the city's name flanked by her lesser (left) and greater (right) coat-of-arms.
The text on the other side translates as:
"ADF
EXHIBITION
THE WOMAN
IN CLOTHING, HOME & KITCHEN
FROM 30TH SEPT. - 10TH OCT. 1926
IN NUREMBERG"
I can't offer a definitive answer as to what the "ADF" is. It was used as the acronym for the Allgemeiner Deutscher Frauenverein [General German Women's Association], an early women's rights organisation founded in 1865, which would seem to fit. However, according to the website of its present-day incarnation, they had already changed their name to Deutscher Staatsbürgerinnenverband [German League of Female Citizens] in 1920.
Interesting! Thank you Hpl. I appreciate you taking the time to respond
