Ancient, British and World Coins, Tokens, and Historical Medals

France, Inauguration of the Raffinerie Standard Franco-Americaine, Port Jerôme, 1934, a cast bronze Art Deco award medal by G. Miklos, view of the oil refinery, reverse standing helmeted figure appearing out of the flame, named (Pierre Guimier), 115 x 64mm (cf. BDW 13, 339). Astoundingly powerful Art Deco work, extremely fine and very rare; in original green fitted case of issue (£250-300)

A better example than the one we auctioned four years ago for £600
