THE 1455 CALAISIENNE MEDAL OF CHARLES VII

Dr. Jonas Emmanuel Flueck of Lugdunum GmbH produced a nice 10-minute video about one of the highlights of the firm's late Spring 2021 auction in Solothurn, Switzerland. Check it out! -Editor

An exceptional medal from the end of the Hundred Year's war

The Calaisienne is an exceptional large silver medal minted in 1455 by the French King Charles VII. It commemorates the French Victory of the Hundred Years' War and the following expulsion of the English from the French territory.

It can be seen as a medal of honour given by the King Charles VII to its most loyal knights for their bravery during the last and most epic battles of the Hundred Years War

This video presents the characteristics of this medal, like its iconography, its rarity, its historical and numismatic importance, its artistic merit and symbolic power as well as its prestigious provenance.

This medal is part of a small group of exceptional medals that have been consigned to Lugdunum and will be offered for sale in our coming auction, taking place in late Spring 2021.
