France – Exposition Francaise a Moscow – 64mm Bronze Medal – 1891 – Louis-Oscar Roty – Exposition Francaise, Moscow, Bronze Medal, 1891, designed and signed by Louis-Oscar Roty, renowned French medalist (1846-1911) who at one time worked for Tiffany & Company in New York. In addition to his many medallic offerings, he also designed the “Semeuse” image – the woman sowing seeds – that used to appear on most French silver coins. The obverse depicts a seated female figure representing Moscow welcoming La France. The reverse shows two shields, the one on the left with the Russian coat-of-arms and the shield on the right with the French national emblem. The medal is 64 millimeters in diameter, weighs 104 grams and is in Extremely Fine condition.

France – Insurance Company – Octagonal Silver Medal by Barre – 1830 – 19.4 Grams – 36.28 mm – Interesting octagonal silver medal commissioned by the Compagnie Royale D’Assurances (Royal Insurance Company) founded in 1817. Created by French medalist and sculptor Jean Jacques Barre (1793-1855) who apprenticed to Thiolier at the age of seventeen and made such rapid progress that scarcely a year elapsed without some of his work appearing at the annual Fine Art Exhibitions at Paris. From 1842 until his death in 1855 he was Graveur General des Medailles (Chief Engraver of Medals) at the Paris Mint. This is just one of many beautiful medals I acquired on a recent trip to a coin show in Verona, Italy.
