Description

1907 French Genius in Armor Illustration No.98 Hand drawn in Graphite on 96lb. Canson Bristol Thick Board sheet stock - Pencils used (6h,4h,2h,h,b,2b,6b) Drawing time: 66 hours. This is the 17th coin in my coin series and the 4th French/France coin in the set.

1907 FURENS GALLIA AUX ARMES MEDAL, Size 63.5mm (2). Bronze. Pierre-Alexandre Morlon, Sc. (1878-1951). Struck by the Monnaie de Paris (Paris Mint). Edge incused BRONZE with Cornucopia mint hallmark. Obverse: bust of French Genius in armor, wearing a Gallic helmet, hair loose in tresses, summoning for war. She is armed with sword and shield and advances in spite of a shower of arrows from above. Signed below sword: A. MORLON. Reverse: ornate cartouche/scrolled banner (inscribed/awarded) at center within a field decorated with oak leaves and branches. Pierre-Alexandre Morlon (1878-1951) French sculptor and medalist, was a pupil of Alexandre Falguire, Antonin Merci and Jules-Clment Chaplain at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, Paris, and exhibited at the Salon from 1900, winning a gold medal in 1920 and a medal of honour in 1926. He was responsible for numerous war memorials, including those at Charolles and La Clayette, Sane-et-Loire, and at Rambevilliers, Vosges, and is noted in particular for his medals related to World War I. He designed and engraved numerous coins of the French Third, Fourth and Fifth Republics, including all of the Fifty Centimes, One Franc and Two Francs pieces used between 1931 and 1959. His style is typical of French decorative arts in the inter-war period, combining geometric decorative forms with a continuing commitment to representation. He was a Chevalier de la Lgion dHonneur. Morlon died in 1951.
