France. FEMALE HEAD. By G. B?rard. Bronze 57mm x 78mm. This plaquette was struck at the Monnaie de Paris (Paris Mint), as indicated by the cornucopia mark stamped on its edge. B?rard is not included in their Catalogue G?n?rale Illustr?, nor can I find any other record for him (or her). It is also intriguing for lacking an added patina or other finish. As such, it might be a trial striking of medal that was never issued. $75
