Hermentaire Truc (1857-1929) of Montpellier, France, where he was professor
of ophthalmology and founder of the ophthalmology clinics. He was an authority
on the history of ophthalmology and did research on light blindness. In 1927,
a bronze medal was struck to honor Truc's 70th birthday and 40 years' association
with the Montpellier Ophthalmology Clinic. It was designed by the artist Henry
Dropsy and presented by Truc's colleagues, students, and friends. The obverse
(Figure 1) depicts Truc's bust facing
left. The reverse (Figure 2) depicts
the facade of the Montpellier Ophthalmology Clinic with inscriptions above
and below.
