These 2 wild  flowers continued to grow up in the returned lands by the shells; they were often the  only touch of color for the soldiers in the trenches of the First World War. These flowers becomed since 1916 a real embema of the memory and the solidarity towards the veterans, the vistims of the war, the widows and the orphans.The reverse is the institutionnal reverse of the Monnaie de Paris, with the millesime 2016.

    • 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.
