Chilian New Member Netherlands 41 Posts	Posted 08/13/2013 4:51 pm Does anyone have an overview which Barre designed which coins or for which countries? Or maybe, it isn't that easy? I thought that only Désiré-Albert designed non-French coins, and that his father (Jean-Jacques) and brother (Jean-Auguste) only designed french coins, but doubt haunts me. Does anyone have a local catalog (like from Venezuela) who can confirm or debunk that? Thanks in advance. Report this Post to the Staff

austrokiwi Pillar of the Community 2087 Posts	Posted 08/15/2013 05:42 am I have a 1902 Indochina Trade dollar (Piastre de Commerse) with his name on the obverse. I guess that coin counts as French although its usually listed under French colonies in French coin Auctions. Report this Post to the Staff
Chilian New Member Netherlands 41 Posts	Posted 08/15/2013 1:29 pm Thanks guys. But unfortunately there are three Barre designers in the family. I'm not sure which Barre designed which coin. So, I'm very curious which Barre designed which coin. For France I have a catalog which clarifies that, but not for the other countries, like the territories, Venezuela, Greece and so on. Which are designed bij Désiré-Albert, which by Jean-Jacques and which by Jean Auguste. Maybe I'm asking to much... and there is no such list...? Report this Post to the Staff
SeriousCERES Valued Member United States 365 Posts	Posted 08/16/2013 4:03 pm There's probably an interesting history there that perhaps no one's yet written. There may be pieces of it in print (consult the bulletin numismatique perhaps?) but I could picture a fascinating narrative of the family history as it intersects with the political and social histories of Second Empire and Belle Epoque France. Could be you're just the person to write it... Report this Post to the Staff
