<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Siggi Palma, post: 1128900, member: 18255&quot;]This is a medal made in the French Mint or Monnaie de Paris, It was designed by a Icelandic artist called Asmundur Sveinsson and refered to as Asmundarskjoldur or shield of Asmundur. The French mint actually made these again in the late 60´s and it´s thought that the silver one was never made origianly in 1930. The hard thing about the bronze one is that the 60´s version has the same mark and is in no way different from the orignal. This is off course something that the Paris mint is famous for. Using original dies to make later copys. I only know of one that can see the differnce betwene the original and the later specimens.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Artists site </p><p><a href="http://www.artmuseum.is/desktopdefault.aspx/tabid-2174/3435_read-6299" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.artmuseum.is/desktopdefault.aspx/tabid-2174/3435_read-6299" rel="nofollow">http://www.artmuseum.is/desktopdefault.aspx/tabid-2174/3435_read-6299</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>[video=youtube;iuICQBuNK5w]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iuICQBuNK5w[/video][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
