Anthony Paquet medal

Knell

I'd like to share again photos of my Anthony Parquet cathedral medal

Got this December of 2019 for under $250.
80mm but I'm not sure what kind of metal. Anyone knows?
Thanks.

So unimaginative on one side and so impressive on the other.

Guess it is reflective of Paquet and his penchant for the "Reverse."

Here is my Paquet Reverse:

@Knell - Correct Pacquet's name in thread title. Exquisite reverse

Beautiful medal.... No idea of the composition. Too bad about that rim ding.... Though I think restoration would be possible. Cheers, RickO

I have always wanted an example of this medal.
Never found one that suited at the right time.
Scarce medal overall.
I have seen them described as silver and silvered white metal.
I am not sure if both were made.
They were also made in bronze but I have never seen one. Only in pictures.

I served everyone a softball on my deliberate misspelling of Paquet's name. I thought it was ironic and quite droll,
