Do we know how many were minted? Thmazing (talk) 07:01, 9 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Per A Guide Book of United States Coins, aka the Red Book, 2020 edition, pg 92: "Franklin presented examples of the medal to the French king and queen (in gold) and to their ministers (in silver), 'as a monumental acknowledgment, which may go down to future ages, of the obligations we are under to this nation.' Between 100 and 125 original copper medals exist, and two dozen or more silver; the location of the two gold medals is unknown. Over the years the Paris Mint has issued additional medals that have a more modest value as mementos." 47.219.180.83 (talk) 16:34, 18 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
