The case, shown below, is not included but, but it explains more about where these were made. One side bears the label of "Monnaie De Paris". The Monnaie de Paris (Paris Mint ), created in 864, is the oldest French institution. Administratively speaking, the "Direction of Coins and Medals", the national mint is an administration of the French government charged with issuing coins as well as producing medals and other similar items.

Includes the plastic display stand shown. (It's a little difficult to get open, so we'll ship the coin out of the stand and you can assemble and use the stand if you wish.)

The medal measures approximately 1 1/4" in diameter and 1/16" thick.

Shipping: $10. Please allow two weeks for shipping.
