1860 (Post 1861) Japanese Embassy Commemorative Medal. Copper. 76 mm. By Anthony C. Paquet. Julian CM-23. Specimen-63 (PCGS).Reflective deep milk chocolate brown with rich highlights of golden olive and traces of pale blue in the protected areas. A few tiny marks are noted on the reverse, as is a small partial fingerprint but this is overall a superb example of this large and historic medal. This is the second obverse, prepared by Paquet after the first die by Salathiel Ellis broke before the end of June 1860.
