THE COLLECTOR OF MEDALS BY DANIEL DUPUIS
Gawain O'Connor writes: There are a lot of interesting things on eBay, but here is a numismatic medal I thought to bring to the attention of your E-Sylum readers a "Fabulous French Bronze medal / Numismatist / by DANIEL - DUPUIS" It is inscribed to Jean Mazard who was the author of Histoire monétaire et numismatique contemporaine, 1790-1963, the main reference on modern French coins (before Victor Gadoury published his). Mazard is the primary source cited for patterns and essais even today. His other work was Corpus Nummorum Numidiae Mauretaniaeque.
Thanks - great medal! Here's the lot description. -Editor

I'm not familiar with Michel Averbuch, but would be impressed to have such a great "old friend" who presented me with a medal such as this.
