GUADELOUPE. Pointe a Pitre. Birth of Armand Barbes Bronze Medal, 1848. NGC MS-62.
Collignon-318; Ruedas, Antilles-Guyane, p. 514, 47. Diameter: 32mm. By de la Rue, Pillared & Houzelot. Obverse: Bare head left; Reverse: Legend and date in three lines between level and clasped hands. Edge: Plain. Deep mahogany patina in the fields contrasts brighter hazel color around the legends. However, all areas still retain an original Mint State sheen, and the absence of handling, hairlines, or chatter make this refreshingly original medal ideal for any numismatist who has long desired to add one to their cabinet.
Estimate: $100 - $150
