About the medl to Godoy of the Real Sociedad Económica de Amigos del País de Valencia minted in 1807. Unpublished papers
Abstract
Among the archival documents of the Real Sociedad Económica de Amigos del País de Valencia (RSEAPV), there is a very interesting set regarding the strike of a medal by this society honouring Manuel Godoy, the so-called “Prince of the Peace”. It was in January 1807 when the RSEAPV decided to appoint him supporting member of this Royal Society and, in appreciation for his acceptance and to commemo-rate his recent appointment to the Great Admiralty of Spain and the In-dies, to strike the medal that I’m introducing with this review. The de-tailed study of this documentation allows us to go beyond the images depicted on the reverse of the medal and to set its significance in the historical context of its time.Downloads
