It is a restrike by the Paris Mint of the 1906 medal to raise funds for the San Francisco earthquake. The artist is Louis Bottee. (Not Roty as I thought.) I collect medals from the Art Nouveau era...

The one thing I like about art nouveau medals is that they are affordable! Painting, original glasswork, yipes! But one can get a nice medal for 100-300 US dollars. And you can have an entire art show on a tabletop... |

oh, absolutely, i wouldn't say those windows are nearly as accessible to a collector. but worth the trip, to see them in person... even if you can't take them home with you.
