For a while now (about 5 years) I have been collecting the King of France series of medals by Armand Auguste Caqué. Right now I have 16 of them (there are 60 in the set). Well I ran across a seller in Europe and struck a deal to by these!!

King number: 1, 4, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 18, 19, 21, 22, 23, 25, 27, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 57, 58, 59, 60 and then the ones ho are not numbered:
Henri IIII, Louis XIIII, Louis XVII, Charles X, Louis XVIII

Some are dups, but I'm a very happy camper!

This is medal #8
