Some filing marks on the edge, probably to smooth out the roughness and metal burrs of the flan. Reverse cleaned, otherwise a splendid specimen.\nThis medal is part of the serie known as the ‘Médailler de Saint-Urbain’, officially named the ‘Médailler des Ducs de Lorraine’ (or Collection of the Dukes and Duchesses of Lorraine) serie. It was engraved by Ferdinand de Saint-Urbain (1654\/58-1738), an artist from Nancy, on commission from the Dukes of Lorraine (Leopold I of Lorraine \u0026amp; François III of Lorraine). In this serie of around thirty medals, he portrayed the genealogy of the dukes and duchesses of Lorraine from 1048 to 1737. The finesse, precision and virtuosity of the engraving are such that this series is also known by the name of its creator. This precision is due to the use of known and realistic effigies of the representatives of the House of Lorraine. A splendid medallist's masterpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp id=\"headCaption\"\u003eRENATVS• II• D• G• REX• SICILIAE• IER• LOTH• DVX•\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp id=\"reverseCaption\"\u003ePHILIPPA• A• GEL• REG• SICIL• IER• LOTH• DVCISSA•\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp id=\"weight\"\u003e41.4 gr\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"cdma","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52046233469260,"sku":"1506568","price":150.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0637\/1655\/7029\/files\/1506568A.jpg?v=1740488514","url":"https:\/\/www.numiscorner.com\/products\/1506568-duchy-of-lorraine-medal-rene-ii-of-lorraine-philippa-of-guelders-18th","provider":"Numiscorner.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
