Campaign Medals

by Melanie Sue Byrd
with artwork by John Pomeroy and Ray Rubin

The French medals shown were struck by the Paris Mint in a variety of metals, most commonly bronze and silver, for propaganda purposes and for use as presentation pieces. Today's collectors can purchase specimens made from the original dies of these high relief neoclassical medals at the gift shop of the Paris Mint.
