FRANCE. Rouen Insurance Company.
68mm silver, by Roty. Obverse(?): Eagle before city view. Reverse: Draped, seated female watching firemen and burning building. France's many insurance companies have a tradition of issuing 25-36mm jetons, particularly in the 19th century; with the emergence of the art medal, they tended to favor larger pieces. This medal is uncommon in any metal. ALMOST UNCIRCULATED.
