COLIBERT, JULIEN (B.D.M., Vol. I, 1904, p. 448). Engraver;
was received a citizen of Geneva in 1765. In 1768 he was
commissioned to cut the die and puncheon of the allegorical medal
\which the Representatives presented to their 24 commissioners as a
reward for their labours in bringing about the Edict of pacification.
The striking of this medal, which is signed S. C.. F. took place at
the Fribourg mint. The dies broke several times, which explains
the numerous varieties of the medal to be met with. Colibert
abandoned his family afirst time in I769, and a second time in I777.
He resided for some time in London, and from there went to Hamburg, Stockholm or St. Petersburg, stopping where he found work.
On his return to London he engraved two medals of George II.
and a Portrait-medallion of George III., with tI sun in splendour,
