Hammer Price:
£680

Haiti, Jean-Pierre Boyer, President, 1818, a uniface gilt electrotype medal, unsigned, uniformed bust right, 68mm. A little stained, otherwise very fine; perhaps made as a box-lid or for framing £200-250

Provenance: Bt R. Margolis 1985.

Described as a cliché on Roehrs’ ticket, but clearly an electrotype and therefore not earlier than the 1840s

This is a repoussé
