Medal by Henri Auguste Jules Patey (Paris), 51 mm; 66.2 g., Forrer-Vol. IV pg. 425; Medals of the Rattanakosin Era-pg. 88/9. Obv. Bust of King Rama V in military dress facing right, legend around; Rev: Six lines inscription with date below, edge inscription stamped by hand "MONNAIE DE PARIS - ARGENT". This medal was struck to commemorate King Rama V's first visit to Europe from April 7-December 16, which also happened to be the first time any monarch from Thailand had visited Europe. The honor of designing this medal was given to Henri Auguste Jules Patey, the Chief Engraver at the Paris Mint. Remarkably, Patey was able to complete his initial portrait of the king after only one sitting. The original portrait by Patey was designed in wax from which a plaster mold was made. Using a plaster negative with graphite coating, an electroformed copper negative was made. This negative would have been the prototype used by the reduction machine to produce the 50 mm medal. After the dies were completed a proof of the medal was presented to the king for examination. Pleased with the work, the king ordered a second production of the medal in 30 mm to be used as an order or decoration. In case of issue, with silver Thai symbol on the lid. Extremely rare original strike, almost uncirculated! I RR!
