Commentary

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).
Interesting medal signed by Mathieu, a French painter considered one of the fathers of lyrical abstraction. He is also famous for his 1974 ten-franc coin, his 1975 Antenne 2 logo, and his postage stamps. It is in its original leather case from the Paris Mint, and awarded to Mr. André de Lattre, Deputy Governor of the Bank of France (as indicated on the case).
