The Jeton de vermeil is an award recognising scholarly achievement in
numismatics. It is awarded by the
Société française de numismatique annually to a foreign (non-French) numismatic scholar, and every three years to the outgoing president of the society. It was formerly known as the Médaille de vermeil.[1] It is a widely recognised
award for numismatics.
The medal was created in 1932-36 by
Lucien Bazor, engraver at the Paris Mint, thanks to a bequest to the Society from Pierre Babut (who was President of the Society, 1907-1908 and 1912–1913).[2]
