Description

Obverse.—Two men embracing each other in the foreground, and in the background, on an elevalion, a temple of seven steps; on its pediment the radiant letter “G ;“ on either side are trees. Above, on the right, the sun, and on the left the moon. Legend, “L.. de L’Union parfaite de la Perseverance” (Lodge of Perfect Union of Perseverance, an error of F for E in the die). Below, “Lambert F.” in small letters.

Reverse.—A shield, bearing a radiant sun, and surmounted by an Eastern crown: the foot of the shield rests in the angle of a square ; below the square are two cnossed gavels: the ends of a ribbon hang on each side from the upper corners of the shield: upon the ribbon on the left, “19 Mars,” and on the right, “1813.” Legend, “0 Be Paris Le 17em Jour Du 9em MOIS 1806.” (Orient of Paris, November 17, 1806.) The first date mentioned, “March 19, 1813,” is doubtless that of the medal, and the second that of the foundation of the Lodge.

This is engraved in T. N. N., Plate 57, Figure 6.
