=== Description ===
The date on this medal is probably that of the foundation of the Lodge, and not of the striking of the medal, which, however, is very old. It is mentioned in the French “Proceedings,” 1829,
and partially described by Merzdorf, Page 56. The medal is struck like a coin, and the planchet is slightly convex on both sides,

Obverse.—A pyramid, on the right of which a man is seated; behind him is an acacia bush and a globe; at the foot of the globe a scroll with Masonic devices. In the sky above are nine stars,
in groups of three. In the background, faintly seen, another pyramid, and a pillar. Legend, “[ ] Du point parfait A L’o.’. De Paris 5760” (Lodge of the Perfect Pointe, &c.)

Reverse.—A circle formed by a snake devouring its tail, within which, on a platform, is a bee-hive, on the left of which is a square and roughashlar, and on the right the compasses and a
perfect ashlar. Above, on the left, the radiant sun; below the platform a gavel and trowel crossed, Legend, “Eternite Constance “ Edge milled.
=== Properties ===
28 mm. Bronze
