La France Metalliqve is a 1636 numismatic book by Jacques de Bie, printed in Paris for collectors and scholars, describing gold, silver and bronze medals of French kings and queens. Its picture is a woodcut ornament with a central mask-like head framed by symmetrical serpents and foliage, a decorative motif a designer could adapt for symmetrical borders, frames or heraldic panels.
