LAUER, LUDWIG CHRISTOPH - Die-sinking establishment was founded in 1729, and reconstructed in 1860 under the style of “ Münz-Präge Anstalt L. Chr. Lauer", Kleinweidenmühle No. 12, Nuremberg.  Begun in modest circumstances, the Lauer business was first developed by Johann Jakob Lauer, 1788-1863, son of Ernst-Ludwig Sigmund Lauer, but the real genius, who gave the establishment its present importance, was Ludwig Christoph Lauer. The vast improvements, both mechanical and artistic, which he introduced, since 1848, when he succeeded his father, Johann Jakob Lauer, until his death, in 1873, speak for the uncommon productive faculties and rare commercial abilities of this great worker.  He knew, too, how to foster the ever-growing interest of the masses for medals, and he successfully attained the purpose of his life, in conquering the feeling of prejudice which existed against all the applied arts in general. He raised the standard of medallic art in Germany, and although his productions cannot be said to rank very high in artistic excellence, he paved the way in Germany for the modern school which, borrowing on the one hand from the style of work of French medallists, and on the other from that of the Austrian masters, is gradually making its influence felt, and may even yet revive the glorious traditions of the celebrated Nuremberg artists of the early sixteenth century.  L. Chr. Lauer started business in 1848 in the Waizenstrasse, n° 1468 as Medallist and Counter-manufacturer. In 1854 he introduced one of Uhlhorn's Coining-presses, thus doing away with handiwork. Four years later he moved into the present premises in the Kleinweidenmühle, where water power could be used for the working of the recently acquired presses, balanciers and other machinery.  In 1873, L. Chr. Lauer died, leaving his wife and three sons to carry on the works, which still gained in importance and extension. Steam power was added in 1881, and in 1884/85 new buildings with every accommodation were erected to cope with the ever increasing trade. In March 1888, the three brothers JOHANN LAUER, commercial manager,  LUDWIG LAUER, technical manager,  and the medallist WOLFGANG LAUER took the entire direction of affairs, aided by a competent staff of modellers, die-sinkers, silversmiths, and about one hundred workmen, enabling them to undertake every kind of medallic and decorative work in metal. Among the best known earlier productions by the Lauers, I may mention the following : Jeton of Louis XVI., 1790 ; — Another of 1791 (sev. var.) ; — Death of Louis XVI., 1793; — Peace of Campo Formio 1797 ; — Coronation of Napoleon I., 1804 (7 var.) ; — Napoleon I. inaugurates the Golden Age, 1804; etc. OBVERSE : Liberty Coronet head left within semi-circle of 15 stars Lettering: LIBERTY COMP S.MARKE  Translation: Composition Token Die sinker: Ludwig Christoph Lauer  (1729-1873) was German Artist, Die sinker, Medal maker REVERSE : Eagle, shield on it's chest with motto and 13 stars above his head.   Lettering: IN UNITATE FORTITUDO E Pluribus Unum COMPOS SPIEL-MARKE  Translation Spiélmarke: Token Translation: In the Unity of Strenght, Out of Many One, Composition Token   EDGE : Reeded Producer: Ludwig Christoph Lauer  (1729-1873) was German Artist, Die sinker, Medal maker Country                Made in Germany for United States Market Type                 Compo Game Token, Compo Chip Token, Composition       Brass (Rarity-9 in brass /bronze) Year                         N/D (1856) Weight                15.878 g Diameter            34 mm Thickness                2 mm Shape                Round Orientation        Medal alignment ↑↑ Demonetized        Yes References           TC-544065 Listed in L.B.
