Paris: Andrieu & Puymaurin, 1822.
Obverse: profile portrait of Louis XVIII. Reverse: "Hémisphère Austral. Physique Astronomie. La Corvette l'Uranie Mr. Ls. de Freycinet Commandt… S.A.R.M. Le Duc d'Angoulême, Amiral de France etc…"
An excellent example of the bronze medal commemorating the voyage of Freycinet's protégé Louis-Isidore Duperrey to the Pacific, with lovely rich tone. A similar bronze version is recorded in the Rex Nan Kivell collection of the National Library of Australia.
