FRANCE. Maternity (or "Therese"), (1899-1900).
52x82mm silver, by Charpentier. 3rd issue of the SAMF. Maier 3, Baxter 19 (bronze). Obverse: Mother nursing infant. Reverse: Charpentier's little girl, Therese. 291 minted (106 silver).
The mother is the artist's sister-in-law, ca 1883. The image was a personal favorite of Charpentier and he made several versions, finally doing a two-sided piece for the SAMF. The Metropolitan Museum has uniface cast versions in larger size, of both obverse and reverse, donated by V.D. Brenner in 1903. NEARLY SUPERB MINT STATE.
