Algeria
Napoleon III gold Specimen "Exposition Générale Agricole a Oran" Medal 1864 SP62 PCGS, Lec-Unl., Divo-Unl. 37mm. 33.40gm. By Barre. Struck for the General Agricultural Exposition in Oran, Algeria. A quite attractive gold medal, and the first of its type we have seen, featuring a handsome depiction of Barre's famed engraving of the French emperor and a dedicatory inscription for the occasion on the reverse. Clearly struck from heavily polished dies, and of great interest.
