alexbq2 Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 I would appreciate some help with these 2 medals. They appear to be similar but have some differences. The first is Diakov 380.2. It is smaller, about 40mm, and is attributed to Denon D. and Andrieu F. (both names are on the obverse side). The second medal is larger, about 60mm, and is inscribed only by Andrieu F. The portrait is also significantly different. I cannot find a reference to this one. Is it in Diakov?

constanius Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Denon D.(Direxit) is for the Director of the Paris Mint. Both lovely medals. Beautiful right angle on the sideburns on the larger medal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IgorS Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Yes, the larger medal is in Diakov. And, you guessed it, it is 380.1. But, Diakov lists it at 65mm. Both have the same rarity - R1. I think the larger one is more scarce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexbq2 Posted November 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Thanks Everybody! Igor, the medal may very well be 65mm, I did not take an accurate measurement. I've looked at various auction records, and found several instances of the smaller medal, none of the larger. Thank you for the information!
