| Dassier Medals |
| The Roman Series |
The Roman Series is traced to the period 1740 - 1743 though the set may not have been completed until 1750. There are sixty different pieces in the set, which traces the history of Rome from its founding to the reign of Augustus. Medals of this series were made in both silver and bronze; this set is in bronze, each medal measuring 31.5mm. Attributions are derived from Volume II, The Dassiers of Geneva: 18th Century European Medallists by William Eisler. Numbers listed are those assigned by Eisler in the same volume.
Unless as otherwise noted, all medals are essentially as struck. |

| Kings & Queens |
Dassier's series of the Kings and Queens of England was originally produced no later than 1733 and listed thirty-three pieces beginning with dedication to George II and the medal of Queen Caroline. The medals were issued in bronze, silver, and a half-guilding technique with the busts in gold. The latter was used for the presentation set which is currently on display in the British Museum.
Attributions are derived from Volume I, The Dassiers of Geneva: 18th Century European Medallists by William Eisler. Numbers listed are those assigned by Eisler in the same volume.
Unless otherwise noted the medals offered here are bronze and essentially as struck. |
