A French brown patina bronze group depicting Minerva sitting on a sphere, holding a coat-of-arms with a fleur-de-lis design
in her raised right hand and a shield in which a copy of Libertas Americana medal has been inserted in her left hand, on a white marble column.

That's cool.
How big is the medallion?

That is so beautiful! I think there is a Columbia’s worlds fair eglit medal that has the design
of Minerva siting on a globe.

Is the rev of the coin also visible? Peace Roy

I keep thinking this has to be 1/2 of a set or pair.

It is not mine, it is on sale at an antique dealer in France for 10 000 euros
As i have no other photo from the seller i don't know if the reverse is visible but i don't think so.
Yes maybe it is one statuary from a pair.
The statuary is not firmed

I was able to get a picture of the back of the sculpture.

It looks like there are engravings on the back side of the shield and the robe.
