US: Chabad-Lubavitch "Messiah" homage silver(?) medal to Rebbe Schneerson, ND (c. 1992); not maker-marked; 39.5mm, 26.4g. Obv: image of Hassidic movement's headquarters on 770 Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn; leg. on obv. and rev. are in praise of the Rebbe and extoll him as the Messiah. Probably issued to commemorate the Rebbe's (1902- 1994) 90th birthday; towards the end of his life segments of the Chassidic movement he led openly declared him to be the Messiah, although the movement as a whole distances itself from saying such in public. In BU.
