Curator's comments: Entered in Hennin's catalogue as dated 1789, but was undoubtedly struck postumously. Hennin speculates that this is part of a larger series of commemorative medals depicting famous faces of the Revolution and beyond: MEDAILLEUR GÉNÉRAL DES HOMMES CÉLÉBRES OU FAMEUX ANCIENS ET MODERNES COMMENCÉ EN 1801 PAR P.G. LIÉNARD A PARIS.
