      The Copper Medal (Committee Attendant) image is reproduced from Michel Hennin, Histoire numismatique de la Révolution française : , ou Description raisonnée des médailles, monnaies, et autres monumens numismatiques relatifs aux affaires de la France, depuis l'ouverture des États-généraux jusqu'à l'établissement du gouvernement consulaire (Paris: J.S.

    History


    The National Convention opened on September 21, 1792, but is unknown whether the Medal for Committee Attendants was instituted on this same day.

    It is not clear if the composition denotes the rank of the recipient.

    The Medal is engraved. The obverse inscription translates to “French Republic, Equality, Committee Service” and the reverse inscription translates to “National Convention, Liberty, Committee Service.”

    The National Convention Medal is translated from French "Medailles La Convention Nationale."
