[QUOTE="TIF, post: 3217233, member: 56859"]The line drawing of the Paris medallion has a lot of noise which is probably artifactual. Painting over that noise gives a cleaner drawing: [ATTACH=full]836771[/ATTACH] This allowed a clearer overlay. There may be some artistic license in the Paris drawing, and probably some alteration of the OP medallion from wear, corrosion, cleaning, or other factors, but I think the Paris medallion is also an obverse die match: [ATTACH=full]836774[/ATTACH] Summary of the dies for the five medallions shown in this thread: [LIST] [*]All five are from the same obverse die. [*]The Gnecchi reverse and the Paris reverse (#3; the line drawing in Cohen) may be die matches [*]The reverses for the rest of the coins shown in this thread are not die matches to the OP coin or to one another.
