Updated March 2011. Please note
that medals are offered by Simmons Gallery London subject to being unsold
|
These medals are the products of various mints: French
Monnaie de Paris and Israel Mint products,Medallic Art Co. New York,
Leningrad Mint plus a few older pieces and Royal Mint issues. They are
mainly as issued but secondhand - we've indicated the grade where it
is otherwise than extremely fine. This is part of our accumulation of
such medals; they are an inexpensive way of owning some very interesting
portraits and interpretations of the work of famous artists, scientists
and politicians. I've also added some puzzles - people who were honoured while alive but now unknown...
