Description: ANTIQUE FRENCH SILVERED BRONZE HONOR MEDAL PENDANT MARIANNE PHRYGIAN CAP 1880’s This antique French pendant features a silvered bronze Honor Medal issued by the Ministry of the Interior. The medal bears the image of Marianne (symbol of the French Republic) wearing a laurel headband and a Phrygian cap (symbol of the French Revolution). The medal is toned (raised portion of shinier silver on a shaded ground) and dates to the 3rd Republic circa 1880-1898 or possibly 1901. It can be dated by the cornucopia (corne d’abundance) edge mark of the Paris Mint (Monnaie de Paris) which was in use from 1880-1898 and again in 1901. Fine antique condition. The medal is unused. The cartouche for the recipient’s name is left blank and not engraved. The French wording on the obverse translates to: HONOR, WORK, DEVOTION., Comes on a fine 18” sterling box chain.HAPPY TO COMBINE SHIPPING
