Similar to obverse of CXXII. but with some slight difference. In the rear of the altar is a mosaic pavement. Like CXXII the altar has seven steps, and the inscription is in four lines; the left pillar has the square and compasses on its base, and that on the right, a level. The letters DES F. under the pillars are omitted.

Size:

29 mm.

Reverse:

Similar to reverse of CXXII, having a five-pointed blazing star on which is the letter G, within the square and compasses, which are enclosed in a wreath of laurel. Legend as on reverse of CXXII; at the bottom, in small letters, COQUARDON. F. 33.^..

Vern's Comments:

The description above comes from a rare book on Freemason's medals. Marvin DXXIX

The author listed the medals size in sixteenths of an inch. In Marvin the size is listed as 18, so 1 1/8". Millimeters makes so much more sense!
