Intéressante médaille signée de Mathieu, un peintre français considéré comme un des pères de l'abstraction lyrique. Il est également célèbre pour sa pièce de dix francs de 1974, son logotype d'Antenne 2 de 1975, et ses timbres-poste. Elle est dans son coffret d’origine en cuir de la Monnaie de Paris, et décernée à Monsieur André de Lattre, sous gouverneur de la Banque de France (comme l’indique le coffret).
