Notice sur des plombs histories trouves dans la Seine, et recueillis
A French antiquarian notice from 1858 by Arthur Forgeais, published in Paris, describing lead medallions and tokens recovered from the Seine for collectors and scholars of medieval material culture. The pictures are plain line engravings of double-sided medallions, one showing a saint or bishop beside a shield-like frame, others showing a standing figure with scales, a seated Virgin, a praying woman between flowers, and a pair of pins on the reverse, with a designer able to draw on their compact circular layouts and simple incised ornament.
