British and World Coins. Tokens and Historical Medals

Horn impressions (3) taken from the reserves of three late 17th century medals of Louis XIV by Mauger: port of Toulon 1680; port of Brest 1681; and the action at Catalonia, 1689. Generally in good order and rare survivors (£120-150)

Impressions in horn or other materials would have been made by a medallist in order to test the efficacy of a die in the making.
