  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,
