Comment
Engraver: Frédéric de Vernon (1858-1912).The date of birth on this medal comes from scholars such as Joseph de Bonnefoux, Roselly de Lorgues and Abbé Cadore, who in the past put the date of C. Colomb's birth at 1435. Today, historians agree on the date of 1451, between August 26, 1451 and October 31.
