| French Bronze Medallion - Help
Hi. I recently was given a French bronze medallion from an uncle and have no idea what it is or what it's worth. Maybe someone can help me. The medallion has a radius of approx. 2 - 7/8 inches and weighs approx. 7 ounces. The front of he medallion is engraved with a bust of what I believe to be one of the King Louis'. It says "LVDOVICVS * MAGNVS * REX * GALLIARVM * INVICTISSIMVS" Below the bust it has "MOLART * F *"
On the back is written "COLVIT * MAGIS * OMNIBVS * VNAM" and shows Versaille. On the bottom, below the picture is " VERSALIAE" and below that the date 1627.
Is this worth anything? And what does it commemorate?
I'd appreciate any help anyone can give.
Thanks,
TorLiv
