Comments

Le présent type est en cupronickel (densité 8.9 g/cm3)., il s'agit donc d'une variante de la médaille décrite par R. Weiller sous le numéro # 1400 qui est en argent.
La médaille décrite par R. Weiller (p. 298) aurait un diamètre de 24 mm, la pièce en cupronickel serait légèrement plus grande (24,2 mm).
Médaille gravée par Antoine Fisch et frappée à l'atelier monétaire de Bruxelles.
