[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 9746609, member: 5833"]From what I can glean, the oldest of these would not be antique. Bertonnier did not make it into Leonard Forrer's comprehensive Biographical Dictionary..., which collects medallists through the early years of the 20th century. From the cgb site: Ce genre de médaille semble relativement récent, mi XXe siècle ; ce serait en fait une médaille publicitaire pour la revue “Connaissances actuelles” offerte à ses clients en 1983 à l’occasion du tricentenaire de la mort de Colbert. This type of medal seems relatively recent, mid-20th century; it would in fact be an advertising medal for the magazine “Connaissances nationaux” offered to its customers in 1983 on the occasion of the tercentenary of Colbert’s death. For this particular medal?[/QUOTE]
