- FRANCE. Execution of Lous XVI & Marie Antoinette Silver Medal, 1793. PCGS SPECIMEN-63. Julius-254; Henin-465. By C. H. Küchler. Diameter: 50mm. Obverse: Conjoined busts right of Louis, garlanded, and Marie Antoinette, diademed and draped; Reverse: Scene in which the severed head of Louis is being held up to a civilian crowd and militia gathered around guillotine in acclimation. VERY RAREin silver, this incredibly moving medal features a rather ambitious reverse with intense focus upon the most minor, but highly significant, details, one of which is the freshly decapitated head of the monarch, whose eyes and mouth can be made out. Deeply toned and almost equally as gory. Estimate: $1,500 - $3,000. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
