Description: ATH#240193 1825 bronze medal – France Celebrating the coronation of King Charles X in Reims, France being crowned by the Arch-Bishop THIS IS A UNIQUE OFFERING As this bronze medal is encased by a solid-sterling-silver frame shaped like a bowl 5 1/2" Wide x 1 1/2" Tall (not a presentation style I am familiar with – if you are and you can educate me a little – please do!) The combined weight is 7.7 oz, or about 218 grams The info on the coin-alone below says that the coin itself is 85 grams, meaning the sterling weighs about 133 grams, or about $91 in melt value as of March 1, 2024 THE COIN AND SILVER FRAME APPEAR UNDAMAGED – BOTH ARE TARNISHED WITH 200 YEARS OF EXPOSURE – FLITZ WOULD CLEAN THEM BOTH UP JUST FINE (IT IS A NON-ABRASIVE METAL POLISHER) The coin has also been sitting at the bottom of this “bowl” for 200 years, and has a little dust-turned-to-grime on it. but I see no damage to the coin, no wear, no scratches I copied this information from an internet site (Numista) I used frequently to learn about this coin or that: King Charles X served from 1824-1830 Year 1825 Composition - Bronze Weight 85.82 g Diameter 58.5 mm Shape - Round Orientation Medal alignment ↑↑ Demonetized Yes Commemorative issue Coronation as King of France the 29 may 1825 in Reims Obverse Crowned bust facing right.
