Barnyard Not Seen Previously

I thought I had seen all the barnyard scenes to be seen, featuring a horse. Then, I came across this one, by Massonnet. My only contact with Massonnet prior to this was a reverse of a medal issued in Spain, during the reign of Isabel II.

    Nice medal. When does it date from?

    I think the horse in the second pic is smiling.

    Plus some poultry (another new interest given the inhabitants of my backyard). That is a nice medal.

    @291fifth I do not know the date of this specific medal, but my other Massonnet is dated October 21, 1859.

    It is a very handsome piece. The French artists of that period were far superior to their US counterparts.

    I love agricultural medals! This is an attractive design.
