Description
France. 1779. Æ calendar medal (39 mm, 13.66 g). Really nice for one of these. Choice brown surfaces. Nearly extremely fine.
Although there is no makers name, this was probably made in Birmingham England, by either Kempson or Powell, two of the more prolific makers of Calendar medals during this period. The French medals are much rarer then the English ones as they were made only intermittently. It''s interesting to note that in 1779, the French were fighting the British in the American Revolution
