"Parisian Pharmacological School" gold Medal ND (1803-Dated) MS63 NGC, Paris mint, Bram-264. 38.5mm. 46.53gm. By Brenet. Denon as mintmaster. Unawarded. Celebrating the opening of the Parisian School of Pharmacy. AU SOULAGEMENT DE L'HUMANITE Snake wrapped around retort, rocks and foliage behind; in exergue DENON DIREXIT // Wreath of medicinal plants. The first opportunity we've had to offer this design in gold, which commemorates the formalization of pharmaceutical education in France per a decree in 1803. The preservation here is unquestionably choice, as high relief motifs tower above the flashy expanses with clarity and charisma. Great acquisition for the collector of eccentric French medals.
