FRANCE. Ascent to the Top of the Eiffel Tower Souvenir Bronze Medal, ND (ca. 1900). EXTREMELY FINE.
Unsigned. 41mm. Obverse: Three ironworkers aloft, assembling the tower; Reverse: View of the top of the tower with city view in background below, legend in top perimeter and field. Edge: Triangle and "BRONZE". The elevators that carried tourists to the top of the tower were a novel engineering feat at the time of the tower's opening in 1889. A charming medal that resonates with anyone who has made the 300 meter vertical trip. To view all items from the PHG Collection click here.
