Greetings, Listoids.

I have an Ensisheim 500th anniversary plaque that is 6 x 12 inches and appears to be made of brass. It is engraved with Sebastian Brant's classic woodcut of the Ensisheim fall and it has a circular capsule containing a .12 gram specimen of the meteorite. It is labelled "plate # 4 of 30".

See a picture here: http://www.tucsonmeteorites.com/mpod/tm1219-a.jpg

Can anyone provide information about the origin of this commemorative plaque?

Thanks
