Louis Philippe I gold Specimen "Kings Award" Medal ND (Awarded 1845) SP63 PCGS, 45mm. 82.84gm. By U. Vatinelle. Awarded to Mr. Henri Duval in 1845, with the reverse indicating that the medal was awarded by King Louis Philippe himself. Struck in high-relief with a satiny finish over the raised devices contrasting against reflective, mirrorlike fields. The reverse engraving is skillfully performed and easily legible, making for a wholly attractive and certainly historically interesting issue.
