In 1792 two diplomatic medals were made in France as gifts for former French ambassadors to the United States.  The reverse had an original design of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Seal_of_the_United_States" class="extiw" title="w:Great Seal of the United States">Great Seal of the United States</a> made by French engraver Augustin Dupré.  The original medals have been lost, but in the 1800s a lead proof was found by Dupré's son, which the U.S. Mint used to make copies in time for the Centennial in 1876.  This is a photo of a bronze copy.
