Comment
The FC in the triangle stands for F. Cartaux. Cartaux seems to have strong connections with Switzerland, but Forrer calls him French.CARTAUX, F. (French). Contemporary Medallist, residing at Paris. His name appears on a medal struck in 1889 to commemorate the " Fete des Vignerons " at Vevey, and on an advertising jeton of M. C. Defailly of Geneva, 1896. He also struck a medal to commemorate the 5oth Anniversary of the Republic of Neuchitel, 1898, and several Portrait-medals and badges of President Kruger, 1900.
