Trump 3D Bust Medallion

The use of the Roman goddess of the harvest Ceres as a representation of the French Republic began during the short-lived Second Republic of 1849-1850, and it was reintroduced in 1871 after the fall of Napoleon III. These bronze 5 and 10 centime coins were introduced in 1871 and circulated until 1897 when Ceres was replaced by Marianne, the more recognised symbol of all French Republics.

In 1989 the Soviet Government brought out a proof 1 rouble coin to mark the life of the poet and writer Mikhail Lermontov, often known as the “poet of the Caucuses”, whose work was influenced by Alexander Pushkin and Lord Byron. Through his father’s family he was descended from Scottish officer George Learmonth, who fought for Poland back in the 17th century, was captured by the Russians and then settled there. His work was often controversial and this led to several periods of internal exile in the Caucuses region.

We had some water damage in one of our warehouses, some of our medallion cases got ruined, but the medals were not touched as they were in protective capsules. So we have thrown the cases away and listed the Lion/QE2 medal at just £3.95 each. Each medal is full crownsized. Our loss is your gain, fantastic value at just £3.95 each, supplies are limited!
