Republic Cast "National Convention" Medal L'An I (1792) MS62 PCGS, Maz-318, VG-338. By A. Galle. A rare "test" medal produced for the National Convention by the artists assembled at Lyon. The type was cast from bell metal, and is inspired by the iconic Libertas Americana design of the nascent United States. A fascinating issue thus, and one that continues to draw collector attention for its historical and aesthetic appeal.
