Summary

Description

English: The medal's subject, Matthew Robinson Boulton (8 August 1770 – 16 May 1842) was the son of Matthew Boulton of England, the close friend and associate of James Watt. Text from the website states: "The powers of the Soho Mint. This interesting and rare medal was struck in 1803 by Matthew Boulton to provide information to the French about the progress the mint had made over the years, and the improvements that had been installed [in his Soho manufactory site].... The medal is struck in French. Being an original striking, this medal was most likely put aside by Matthew Boulton. This medal was put aside by the Boulton's agent Tim Millett in 2002, and purchased from him in 2004. Original striking, 43 mm. BHM 462. Ex: Matthew Robinson Boulton. Courtesy Bill McKivor Collection."
