<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Wehwalt, post: 2759082, member: 33595&quot;]I&#039;m still in Europe and today I happened to be in London when the thrice-annual London Coin Show was going on.&nbsp; There were a number of medal dealers.&nbsp; I would have liked to have bought more than I did!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]633685[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]633672[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>This is a medal by Daniel Dupuis, 50mm. It is identified by the dealer&#039;s flip as for the 1900 Exposition Universalle but I wonder if that&#039;s a misidentification as it seems more focused on the year 1900.&nbsp; The flip contains a note that this is from the Cokayne collection, and combining what the dealer said with what I researched back at the hotel is that Francis Cokayne was a major tokens collector of the first half of the 20th century. &quot;it was a standing rule at Baldwin’s that staff could not leave on Friday until a new parcel of tokens was posted to Mr Cokayne’s offices on Montagu Square&quot;. The collection was bought by Baldwin&#039;s just after WWII, but this was part of what was sold by the family later, according to the dealer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
