Once the artist had sculpted the large plaster original design, mints were then able to produce a variety of different objects from that design, including large galvanos or smaller struck or cast medals, decorations and pins by using a reducing machine. See nos. 120–121 for additional examples. On the use of reducing machines see van Alfen “Medals of the European Allies” in this volume.
