WORLD HISTORICAL MEDALS FROM VARIOUS PROPERTIES
WORLD HISTORICAL MEDALS, HAITI, Exposition Nationale d'Haiti, 1881, a silver (?) medal, unsigned, similar, rev. médaille de 1ère classe, 46mm (Roehrs 1544). Test and surface marks and an obverse rim knock at 4 o'clock, otherwise fine to very fine; with oval oakleaf suspension loop £100-200
---
While the Roehrs specimen of the 1st class medal was unquestionably silver (DNW 13 July 2011, 1544), the metal content of this and one other specimen recently seen would suggest that a high percentage of nickel was used in the manufacture
