France, Paris, Eiffel Tower Souvenir of Ascent medals x2: 1889 when built and 1900 for Exhibition. The latter was designed by Alexandre Charpentier
1889 medal gilt copper 42.3mm
1900 medal silvered bronze by Alexandre Charpentier
NB: The 1900 medal is a nice example of Charpentier’s work – although quite commonly found, examples are not usually as nice as this one
