Jeton de vermeil

The Jeton de vermeil is an award recognising scholarly achievement in numismatics.

It is awarded by the Société française de numismatique annually to a foreign (non-French) numismatic scholar, and every three years to the outgoing president of the society.

It was formerly known as the Médaille de vermeil.

[1] It is a widely recognised award for numismatics.

The medal was created in 1932-36 by Lucien Bazor, engraver at the Paris Mint, thanks to a bequest to the Society from Pierre Babut (who was President of the Society, 1907-1908 and 1912–1913).
