Pertinax Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2133 Posts	Posted 05/20/2013 7:44 pm I bought these two medallions yesterday. They are about 34mm diameter, milled edge, made of brass. 1 side is common to both: The other sides are different: Are these medallions from French Mint coin sets, please ? If so, which sets do they come from ? If not, what series are they from ? Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16808 Posts	Posted 05/20/2013 10:09 pm The Paris Mint makes all sorts of medals, from relatively cheap souvenir-pieces like this to restrikes of classic gold medals. Mintage numbers tend to be unlimited, so there's very little secondary-market demand for them. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
