1834 (Circa 1838) Washington Cercle Britannique Heroes of Liberty Medal. Bronze. 51.5 mm. Baker-196, Musante GW-149. Rarity-7. MS-63 BN (NGC).；Beautiful satin surfaces are smooth, attractive, and bathed in rich antique copper patina. Subtle golden highlights are evident over the high relief devices. This type was issued by the Cercle Britannique, a library in Paris at 55 Rue Neuve Saint Augustin, in conjunction with the national display of French pride that followed upon the death of Lafayette in 1834. Although examples may have been struck as early as that year, the type does not appear in the Paris Mint catalog until 1838. Survivors are rare and eagerly sought by advanced Washingtoniana collectors.；
