FRANCE. Daniel-Dupuis, Medalist (1849-1899). Self-Portrait Medal, Uncertain Date.
26.5mm silver, thin flan, edge unmarked. Uniface. Daniel-Dupuis may have modeled his portrait in the 1870s, but it was used after his death. The small size would be suitable for pieces D-D wished to give away to friends or business associates. From a Baldwin's auction, described (by Daniel Fearon) as a posthumous issue of 1900, and "very rare." ALMOST UNCIRCULATED.
