SG: Auf einem Teller / Untersetzer aus gepresstem
Kristallglas, der nach 1830 von einer bisher unbekannten Cristallerie in Frankreich hergestellt wurde, ist eine
eingeglaste Paste „La Fayette“. Die Medaille mit dem
mir bisher unbekannten Bild von General Marquis de La
Fayette, die als Vorbild für diese Paste gedient hat, war
zunächst im Internet nicht zu finden. Deshalb glaubte
ich lange Zeit nicht, dass der Dargestellte La Fayette
war. Tad McKeon gab einen Hinweis durch das Bild
einer Medaille, mit der die Paste eindeutig La Fayette zugewiesen werden kann. Das Problem: sie wurde
wahrscheinlich anlässlich der Reise in die USA 18241825 (oder zur Erinnerung danach) in den USA graviert,
hergestellt und herausgebracht. Das Vorbild stammte sicher aus Frankreich. Eine umfangreiche Suche hat ergeben, dass eine Medaille mit diesem Bild von La Fayette
erstmals um 1824 von François-Augustin Caunois
(1787-1859) graviert wurde. Diese Medaille wurde
1824, 1826, 1830 und 1834 in Frankreich herausgebracht. Wesentliche Ergebnisse werden hier dokumentiert.

Commentaires à propos de ce type monétaire:
Cette médaille commémore le voyage de La Fayette
aux États-Unis le 13 juillet 1824. Collignon (La médaille au XIXe siècle et l’histoire) décrit ainsi ce voyage
“Après avoir fait un triomphal accueil à Lafayette, qui
était allé revoir le théâtre des exploits de sa jeunesse, le
Congrès des États-Unis avait voté une résolution où il
appelait Lafayette le champion de la liberté, le héros de
la Révolution, l’ami et le compagnon de Washington,
et il avait envoyé un navire de guerre le chercher en
France. Le Vice-Président vint le recevoir à New-York.
Il fut traité dans toutes les cités américaines avec les
mêmes honneurs que s’il eut été le président d’une République Française. Les récits émouvants qui arrivaient
d’Amérique apportèrent aux libéraux français une consolation, un encouragement et une espérance”. Lafayette effectue ce voyage avec son fils prénommé Georges
Washington, 182 villes sont visitées entre 1824 et
1825. Le Congrès le remercie en lui faisant un don de
200.000 dollars (en récompense de l’argent qu’il avait
avancé personnellement pour aider la Révolution américaine) et 12.000 hectares de terres en Floride. Il fut le
premier étranger à s'adresser aux deux Chambres réunies du Congrès américain et son portrait figure dans la
Chambre des Représentants. Il a été élevé à titre posthume, «citoyen d'honneur des États-Unis d'Amérique», un privilège rare qui n’a été accordé qu'à quatre
reprises dans l'Histoire américaine.
Historique :
Louis-Stanislas-Xavier [Le Fayette] naquit à Versailles
en 1755 de l'union du dauphin Louis (fils de Louis XV)
et de Marie-Josèphe de Saxe. Il reçut d'abord le titre de
comte de Provence et fut appelé Monsieur quand son
frère aîné, Louis XVI, devint roi en 1774. Marié à Louise Marie Joséphine de Savoie en 1771, il n'eut pas d'enfants. Souvent en opposition avec la Cour, il ne condamne pas, dans un premier temps, le mouvement de
1789 mais l'évolution des événements le décida à quitter
Paris, le jour même de la fuite de Louis XVI à Varennes, mais par un autre chemin. Réfugié à Coblence avec
son frère, le comte d'Artois, il prit le titre de régent
après l'exécution de Louis XVI puis, à la mort de son
neveu Louis XVII, celui de roi. Il se mit à travailler à la
restauration malgré le faible secours dont il disposait et
fut contraint de changer plusieurs fois de résidence devant les victoires de la révolution et de Bonaparte. Avec
le Premier Empire, la cause monarchique semblait désespérée et Louis XVIII s'installe en Angleterre dans
une période d'exil et de gêne financière. Lors des premières défaites de Napoléon Ier, Louis XVIII reprit son activité diplomatique qui, à l'initiative de Talleyrand et
grâce au soutien anglais, lui permit de rentrer en France
en mai 1814. Obligé de fuir à Gand durant les CentJours, Louis XVIII, lors de la seconde Restauration, essaya de mener la même politique de réconciliation que
celle définie lors de son premier retour en France. Malgré les pressions royalistes, Louis XVIII soutint fermement la politique modérée de Decazes dans les premières années. Débordé par la réaction des ultras après l'assassinat du duc de Berry, il dut renvoyer Decazes ce qui
marqua le triomphe de la droite pour la fin du règne et
pour le règne suivant.

Medals of LaFayette.
LaFayette, the friend of America, is one of those who
have been especially honored by medalists, and consequently by numismatists. But I know no work which
contains any account of the medals struck in his honor,
and I have, therefore, tried to form a list of them. I add
descriptions of twentyseven pieces in my collection
bearing his portrait, and I do not know of the existence
of any more. I have also a silver shell with his head and
name, and a small casting of bronze of the same character. If any readers of the Journal own, or have ever seen,
medals of Lafayette not mentioned in this list, they will
confer a favor on the Journal, and more especially on
the author, if they will send descriptions of them to the
Committee of Publication, addressed to Mr. Colburn. It
seems not at all necessary to add anything about the life
of Lafayette, or the events commemorated by the medals, which are of such a character as to explain themselves perfectly. I think it quite possible there are more
pieces resembling the last five, which belong to the
class of American store -cards. I have, as far as possible,
arranged all the medals in chronological order.

die crack on the reverse nearly bisects the reverse in an

Bale, New York, 1824 nach einer Vorlage von François-Augustin Caunois, Frankreich 1824, hergestellt.
Die Übernahme der Vorlage von Caunois wurde durch
die deutlich erkennbare Signatur “CANOIS FRENCH”
gekennzeichnet. Es gab aber auch eine sehr ähnliche
Version mit blanker Rückseite, die nur mit „BALE“
signiert war. Die Medaille von Caunois 1824 war Vorlage für eine Paste La Fayette, die erstmals 1830 von

Cornwallis at Yorktown, leading to his eventual surrender.
In 1824-25 Lafayette made a return visit to America
where he was enthusiastically greeted by enormous
crowds. During this trip several commemorative medals
were struck. In 1824 Charles Cushing Wright, of the
New York City engraving firm of Wright and Bale,
produced a small medal with Washington on one side
and Lafayette on the other (15 mm) (Baker 198) that
was issued in gold, silver and white metal versions.
The dies were also used to counterstamp various circulating denominations including the large cent, dime, half
dollar, one real and two reales coins.
Soon thereafter, between 1829 and 1833 C. C. Wright
and James Bale produced a commemorative medal with
the heads of Washington (left) and Lafayette (right)
facing each other, surrounded by a laurel wreath with
the initials W & B below for the engravers Wright and
Bale. The reverse has the motto PAR NOBILE
FRATRUM (equal noble brothers) in a laurel wreath.
There is a rosette above the A in PAR and another rosette with a leaf at each side located below and just to the
right of the T in FRATRUM. The medal (Baker 197)
was issued in silver, copper, nickel and an alloy of silver and white metal. A silver and white metal alloy
example of this medal is shown above.
In 1834, the year Lafayette died, a large 53 mm medal
was struck in Paris by a society called the "Cercle
Brittanique." The medal portrayed the busts of Washington, with the Polish patriot of the American Revolution, Thadeus Kosciusko and Lafayette (Baker 196).
The medal was designed and signed by the French engraver Rogat and issued in bronze and white metal,
with later restrikes produced in copper and bronze.

Comments: During the American Revolution the Marquis de Lafayette had been one of Washington's most
ardent French supporters. In July of 1777 Lafayette came to America, joining the Continental Army as a Major General and fighting in the Battle at Brandywine,
Pennsylvania. In 1779 he went back to France and in
April of 1780 returned with a 6,000 man expeditionary
army. Lafayette was immediately given command of the

the obverse of Baker 197 (Washington and Lafayette)
with a reverse showing a three quarter face bust of Benjamin Franklin (left) and Washington (right) facing
each other (Baker 203), which was issued in copper,
brass and white metal. From about 1834-39 Bale
struck another variety combining the Washington Franklin reverse of Baker 203, but using it as the obverse and joining it with the PAR NOBILE FRATRUM (equal noble brothers) reverse, as on the previous Washington - Lafayette example (see Baker 197). This medal was issued in silver, copper and white metal, with
a white metal example displayed above. At the same
time Bale also began issuing a medal with the bust of
Washington on one side and Franklin on the other. This
third medal, Baker 201, was issued in silver, copper,
bronze and white metal through about 1848.

The similarity of Smith's portrait of Washington to those of C. C. Wright was no accident as Smith was apprenticed to Wright while he was in business with

Stand 06.12.2009
Fine. Thin planchet. (2.5 grams) This scarce card is
sought by both specialists in merchant tokens and collectors of Washington items. It is particularly important
to Hard Times collectors because it is the storecard of
one of the most prominent issuers of merchant tokens of
the period. Charles Cushing Wright and James Bale
were in business together from 1829 until 1833 when
the partnership was dissolved. (I)
64. 922. RICHARD TRESTED, NYC. 23 mm. Brass.
Plain Edge. Fine/Very Fine. A few minor rim dents. A
relatively deep scratch extends from the top left of the
shield into the bottom of the wreath. On the reverse, an
old scrape runs through the ST of TRESTED.
Very little is known about Richard Trested even
though, according to Edgar Adams, he was about the
only maker of dies in NYC at one time. Rulau traces
his various places of business from 1821 through 1829.
He died in 1829 and his business was sold to Charles
Cushing Wright and James Bale.

bust of Harrison to the left enclosed in a heavy oak
wreath. The bust is enclosed by the legend: MAJ;

HARD/CIDER. The die is signed, BALE F.
James Bale was a New York City engraver and diesinker, 1824-1851. A pupil of Charles Cushing
Wright, he joined him as a junior partner in Wright &
Bale 1829-1933. This is his only signed political. The
quality and rarity of this piece has been long recognized. Woodward, in the 1862 McCoy Sale called it "one
of the rarest & finest of the campaign medals." It
brought $ 3.00 - the same price as did a VG/F specimen
of the rare JQA 1828-2!. The XFAU McSorley specimen brought $412.50 in 1997.
