Republic gold Specimen "Society of French Artists - Auguste-Émile Pinchart" Award Medal 1884 SP62 PCGS, 60mm. 142.55gm. A singular medal awarded to Auguste-Émile Pinchart as a third prize in the 1884 Salon of the Société des Artistes Français (Society of French Artists) in their annual exhibition, which first began in 1881. Pinchart is best known for his orientalist scenes, winning both an honorable mention at the Salon in the year 1883 and the current third-class prize the following year. Of interest, we note that both of these prizes are referenced on the artist's current Wikipedia page. The imposing medal contains over 4.5 troy oz. of gold and displays light wispy handling, in line with PCGC's near-choice designation. As an award medal granted to the artist on the specific occasion of his achievement, a unique opportunity.
