    Description

    • Metal : common metal yellow
    • Diameter : 34 mm


    The obverse of the medal represents the rooster, emblem of the team of France since 1909, in full action of pulls. The symbol of the rooster reminds the Gallic origins of the nation. Indeed, in Latin, the word "gallus" means both cock and Gaulish.
    Under the rooster, years "1998-2018" recall the victory of France against Brazil, 20 years earlier. Next to the rooster, two stars specify the winners of the team of France, namely his second victory in the world championship football.
    Behind the rooster, a goal. This represents the target of each player in order to win the victory.

    The reverse is the standard model of the tourist medals marked the 2018 vintage year of victory for France.
    The mini medal is adorned with the word "France" in nine different languages. This reminds the worldwide dimension of the competition.

    Our craftman

    • THE MEDAL MINTER

      The medal minter transforms a blank into a medal, alternating between striking to bring out the relief and annealing to return the metal to a more malleable state. The blank is struck as many times as necessary, depending on the diameter, depth and detail of the engraving. Finally, surface treatments are applied to enhance the finished piece

    • THE ENGRAVER

      Trained at the best schools, they have the years of experience behind them necessary to master all aspects of the craft. Using industrial oil-based modelling clay and working from a design executed freehand or with CAD software, they skilfully fashion a low relief model in order to enhance the engraving and the way it catches the light. They work alternately with concave and convex plaster moulds until satisfied they have achieved the best 3D rendering of the design.
