constanius Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 The Coat of Arms of The Royal College of Surgeons 1822 LINK As to who??? They are surgeons though. The latin means: 'Arts that benefit everyone' or, 'their skills benefit everyone' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santa Posted November 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Thanks for the answer. I have bought these medals in the big group of medals, and was in difficulty to define some of them. If you have the information on some other medals - how much they are rare and interesting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
constanius Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 See below for info on the Spinoza medal by P.Turin LINK TO COINARCHIVES Yours might be a later restrike. The 1881. Adolphe Crémieux's death: obverse, bust; reverse, inscription; 68 mm by Borrel. looks definitely to be a later restrike. He was a prominent French-Jewish lawyer and politican LINK. As to value etc on either medal I have no idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santa Posted November 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Once again my gratitude. I think that my medal of the original period. In meeting which I have got, there were many medals of this period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

santa Posted November 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 There should be a stamp or signature on the edge of the medal. Do the restikes have this stamp? thank you, Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
constanius Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 There should be a stamp or signature on the edge of the medal. Do the restikes have this stamp? thank you, Alex elverno's re-strike page As you can see by the link, normally there is a re-strike mark but not always if the dies are privately owned. Do either of the medals have any edge marks? The Spinoza was originally struck in 1932, so the patination could very well be original. The 1881 medal's patination still looks like a re-strike to me from the pics, but I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

constanius Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 That is the cornucopia mint mark used from 1st January 1880 to the present, at some time after 1950 it was decided to add the year in which the medal was struck. So obviouslk not much help, as an original strike would have had that edge mark. This should be of interest to you LINK TO PARIS MINT MARKS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
