THE MEDALS OF HANS SLOANE

Ira Rezak of Stony Brook, NY writes:

Regrading Dave Bowers' note on Hans Sloane, there are at least three medals that depict him. One by Jacques-Antoine Dassier in 1744 honors his presidency of the Royal College of Physicians, One by Paul Vincze in 1953 commemorates the 200th anniversary of his death, the sale of his collection and the consequent foundation of the British Museum. The last is a modern medal currently sold as a souvenir at the British Museum.
