Adams S-3; Betts 66-70, n. 3. EF, brown surfaces. Rare and historically interesting.From the J. Eric Engstrom Collection.Most likely struck for the Régiment de la Calotte, a festive and carnival society of military origin, this medal has been traditionally ascribed to John Law, the famous Scottish economist of the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Surrounded by a bad reputation for the disastrous results of his financial and economic adventures – such as the Mississippi bubble – he is now considered to have been a forerunner in his field. The whimsical nature of this medal could be viewed as a satire upon Law, but the later attribution is indeed accurate, as the reverse bears the coat-of-arms and banner of the jovial French society.
