AE Uniface Medal - ESSAI (?) - bronze - n.d. (circa 1946) - medallist: Marcel Rau (°1886 – +1966)

Obverse: Head of a Mangbetu woman to right; above the head a leaping lion; in front of the forehead descending along the edge: CONGO; behind the neck an antelope; name of the medallist RAU along the edge on the left, towards the beginning of the neck.

O/legend: n/a

Reverse: blank

R/legend: n/a

Edge: plain

Coin alignment: n/a

Technique: struck

Weight: +/- 133 g

Dimensions: 70,4 mm

Condition: EF, fine brown patina

References: compare with Vancraenbroeck 82, but without legend on reverse.

Rarity index: R1/R2

Remark: The rough finish, the atypical "brushed" patina, as well as the fact that the medal is one-sided, lead us to suspect that this is an artist's trial design or "essai" for the medal for the Association of Pioneers, Veterans and Former Colonials, issued in 1946. Further research is required.
