Comments

This medal is struck by the Paris mint in FDC/BU minting. Note that the medal is struck on both sides: the side without the motif is struck with a fine texture.

Despite the 1960 date, the design is taken from the 1 franc Semeuse argent 1898-1900, whose "1" has a horizontal bar and two dots surrounding the date instead of different ones.

The double cornucopia has been used by the Monnaie de Paris since around 1994. Source: https://fr.numista.com/forum/topic71808.html
