By E. Boninsegna & F. M. Lorioli for R. Castelli Inc. Diameter: 125mm; Weight: 1.49 kgms. Obverse: Bust left, wearing stole; Reverse: Interior view of the library; in foreground, open book with Greek text set upon garnished coat-of-arms; all within circular border with Arabic inscription. Edge : Plain. Presenting rather alluring olive-brown surfaces, this incredibly impressive medal--weighing nearly 1-1/2 kilos--offers intensely bold relief on each side. For the fans of architectural types, this fairly RARE  emission would be hard to pass over.
