FRANCE, Royal (Restored). A near complete set of the Les Rois de France (The Kings of France) medallic series by Caqué. Lot of seventy-three (73) Æ Medals. Struck 1835-1840. Includes nearly every French monarch from Pharamon, the mythical first king of the Franks, to citizen-king Louis Philippe (Collignon 1508-1580). All medals measure about 51mm and bear on the obverse a portrait of the ruler with a biographical legend on the reverse. Only the medal for Napoléon I (Collignon 1577) is not present. All EF or better. An exquisite set with uniform attractive brown surfaces. The medals of the earliest monarchs in particular have a rich red mahogany color with the delicate purple toning usual to well preserved 19th century bronzes, while those of the later rulers appear in a slightly paler, muted brown-red. Seventy-three (73) medals in lot.
