<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 4266443, member: 110350&quot;]Greetings from the Ancient Coins forum, where I usually post.&nbsp; I spent many years collecting British coins and historical medals, the majority of which I sold a few years ago, but I also collected a number of French &quot;art medals&quot; -- most of them in the Art Nouveau style, but I still have one French Art Deco medal:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1086711[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1086712[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>It bears the date 1907 on the reverse, but was actually issued in 1932 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the&nbsp; Compagnie Parisienne de Distribution d&#039;Électricité&nbsp; [C.P.D.E.] (the Parisian Electric Distribution Company). The obverse represents a personification of electricity (with the rays of the sun), and the reverse shows a woman bestowing light on the Parisian skyline.&nbsp; The medal was designed by Paul-Marcel Dammann (1885-1939).&nbsp; It&#039;s 65 mm. in diameter and weighs 115.1 grams.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
