Description
This medal was struck by the Paris Lodge, Les Trinosophes de Bercy. Findel, “History of Freemasonry,” P. 571, says there were three Lodges in France in 1820 calling themselves Trinosophists, one of which was the most highly esteemed and considerable of the Lodges under the Grand Orient. There is a Lodge now on the Calendrier of the Grand Orient bearing the name which was founded November 28, 1846, by which no doubt this medal was struck.
Obverse.—A five-pointed radiant star, surrounded with sprigs of acacia. Legend above, “Tninosophes De Bercy.”
Reverse.—Noah’s Ark, on the gable of which is a dove with an olive branch in its beak. Legend above, “Noe Deateurs Mirada,” and below in cypher. Struck like a coin, Octagonal.
