France 1823 Jeanne D'Arc Medal by Domard
Offered is a lovely 41mm, 37g bronze medal commemorating Joan of Arc, having been designed in 1823 by renowned French medallic artist Joseph Dombard, Collignon#711. This piece was originally sold as a part of the 118-piece subscription series 'The Medallic Gallery of Great Frenchmen,' and has since become the most sought of the series - scarcely surprising, as the story of Joan of Arc is famous the world over. This example, although historically cleaned, remains extremely appealing, really showcasing the masterful, high-relief portraiture which characterizes Dombard's work.
