alganbagerap Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2490 Posts	Posted 10/02/2015 7:21 pm I've been preparing some medals for sale. Things I thought that I understood, but this one's a little different. It's pretty much a basic French agricultural medal. The obverse is a farmyard scene and the reverse bears the legend: ENCOURAGEMENT A L'eLEVAGE DePARTEMENT DU NORD But just at 9 o/clock on the reverse is: LE MEDAILLIER There's also a signature between 3 & 4 o/clock on the obverse: Albert E********* The medal is edge marked Bronze with a Cornucopia poincon. As far as I can work out, the medal was made by the Paris Mint for the company Le Medaillier, 13 Rue du Conservatoire, Paris What I'd love to learn is a possible date and the namde of the sculptor.

PatAR Valued Member United States 262 Posts	Posted 10/05/2015 10:31 pm A neat medal. I enjoy researching these as well. Quote: The medal is edge marked Bronze with a Cornucopia poincon. Could you post a photo of the edge marks? Or perhaps describe the cornucopia, is it a classical rounded cornucopia or is it more like a triangle? If a closeup or higher resolution photo of the artist's signature is possible, that would be helpful as well. Report this Post to the Staff
