HAITI. Haitian Amsterdam International Exposition Bronze Medal, 1883. Mint State.
cf. Roehrs-1546. By A. Brichaut. Diameter: 51mm. Obverse: REPUBLIQUE D'HAITI / GENERAL SALOMON PRESIDENT around coat of arms; Reverse: EXPOSITION INTERNATIONALE D'AMSTERDAM 1883 around wreath that contains a list of officials; Edge: Plain. A wonderful gilt medal made to commemorate the presence of the Haitian delegation at the International Colonial and Export Exhibition. Bright surfaces show gentle rose tone in the fields, while the devices do not betray any sign of handling. From a type that very seldom comes to market, this piece is perfect for both Haitian and European specialists.
