Description

1792 Lyon Convention Medal by Galle. Mazard-318. Metal de cloche, 39 mm. MS-62 (PCGS).

639.7 grains. Struck in medal turn. A really nice example, with choice dark bronze toning enlivened with flecks of lighter tan that also appear on the highest points of the relief on both sides. Well struck and well centered, problem free but for the typical fine granularity seen with this composition. A tiny natural pit near the end of Liberty's pole is noted but insignificant.

From the Richard Margolis Collection. Earlier from Emile Bourgey in Paris, May 1980.

Estimate: $1000
