1792 Lyon National Convention medal. Metal de Cloche. MS-62 (PCGS).

39.1 mm. 648.2 grains. Glossy dark olive, near ebony in areas, with high points and underlying fields toned a pleasing tan. Exceptionally choice for this issue, with fields whose inherent granularity is tight enough to offer a smooth, hard field. A few trivial obverse fissures are seen, behind the head and extending from the chin, but these are both natural and minor. Crisply struck, ideally centered on a high quality planchet, and unsurpassably attractive, this is a top echelon example of this popular issue, whose Dupre-inspired design has created a place for it in American cabinets.
