<p>[QUOTE=&quot;awbw, post: 1414243, member: 37414&quot;]Hi </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I am a student at USC working on a research paper about this Medal: </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.inumis.com/us/vso/V00006/philippe-%C3%89galite-mort-du-traitre-par-loos-1793-berlin-a10308.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.inumis.com/us/vso/V00006/philippe-%C3%89galite-mort-du-traitre-par-loos-1793-berlin-a10308.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.inumis.com/us/vso/V00006/philippe-Égalite-mort-du-traitre-par-loos-1793-berlin-a10308.html</a>&nbsp; (tried to post image but keeps not working for some reason)</p><p><br /></p><p>Apparently it is one&nbsp; of six minted by Loos in Berlin to commemorate the deaths of the members&nbsp; of the French royal family executed in the revolution.&nbsp; The interesting&nbsp; thing about this particular medal is that, unlike the other unfortunate&nbsp; dead royals the subject of this medal (the Duc D&#039;Orleans) was himself a&nbsp; revolutionary and infamously voted for the death of Louis his first&nbsp; cousin before he also fell victim to the Terror.&nbsp; The reverse image has a snake slithering around a crown to make the point. </p><p><br /></p><p>If anyone has any idea&nbsp; how I can find out more about this and the other medals in the series I&nbsp; would very much appreciate it. (I have a message in to the seller of the item but so far have not heard back)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thanks!<p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000">Read more: <a href="http://www.cointalk.com/t204205/#ixzz1rafngHSw" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/t204205/#ixzz1rafngHSw">http://www.cointalk.com/t204205/#ixzz1rafngHSw</a></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
