The Medal of the Center for French Civilization and Culture
at New York University.

"Since 1985, the Medal of the Center for French Civilization and Culture has honored distinguished French and American friends of New York University who have contributed significantly to strengthening the bonds between France and the United States. Sculpted and designed by the eminent American artist, Paul Jenkins, the Medal has been minted by the Monnaie de France in Paris. The silver-dipped bronze Medal recalls the Center's symbol, the skylines of Paris and New York, linked by an arch of triumph, part Étoile, part Washington Square, fusing the spirits of the two cities." [NYU Medal presentation]
