Ancient, Celtic, British, Irish and World Coins, Tokens, and Historical Medals

France, Exposition Canine de Paris, 1891, silver (second) prize medal the Societé Central pour l’Amelioration des Races Chiens, awarded to ‘cartouche chien douanier a mr damatte’, 46mm. Extremely fine, some faint hairlines, deeply toned (£30-40)

The Exposition was presumably the French equivalent of Cruft’s, and undoubtedly rare.
