The consignor comments, "An ambitious die was designed by Andrieu, based on a famous painting by David. This die was never hardened, and it was used by Andrieu only to make cliches. The present medal was struck from dies made by Montagny, who gave Andrieu credit for the obverse."
Estimate: $40 - $60
