The genuine medal was created in 1803 and 50 copies were struck. The lettering “Ecole de Pharmacie de Paris” was engraved on the edge for the copies given to the Paris School of Pharmacy. The medal is known under the name “médaille Brenet“.
Subsequently, bronze and silver prize medals were struck up to 1830. These copies can be recognized by the small breach on the medal rim. A gold medal (35 g) struck in 1830 is also known.
