Summary

edit
Description This medal was issued by the French ministry of finance to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution. It depicts an allegorical figure of Currency minting coins while the reverse shows the grounds of the Exposition Universelle of 1889 in Paris. The Eiffel Tower was built for the fair and served as the entrance arch to the grounds. The building on the far left is the Galerie des machines, the longest interior space in the world at the time. It was dismantled in 1910. To the right of the tower is the Trocadero.
