FRANCE. Lazare Carnot.
68mm silver, by E. Mouchon. PBE 620; CGMP p.278. Obverse: Carnot at desk reviewing plans. Reverse: Standing goddess of the First Republic, and Winged Genius hammering at an anvil. Carnot (1753-1823), a fascinating figure throughout the Revolution and Napoleonic era, was a military engineer and important mathematician. Also a politician, he opposed Robespierre, and variously opposed and championed Napoleon. Uncommon in bronze, this medal must be rare in silver. A few tiny obverse spots, otherwise MINT STATE.
