Victor Janvier

From Graces Guide

Victor Prosper François Janvier was a French sculptor and engraver. Born 1 May 1851 in Paris, died 12 April 1911[1]

He developed the Janvier Reducing Machine, an improved machine for sinking dies for coins and medals by reducing them from larger patterns. Examples were used in mints around the world, including the Royal Mint.
