[F. V. Raspail, founder of histochemistry and pioneer of the cell theory, reflected in contemporary medals].
Contemporary medals on F. V. Raspail are not related to the pioneering scientist, founder of histochemistry and pioneer of cell theory. They show the politician Raspail on cheap coinage popular as a souvenir and sign of political following. Raspail's personality and political mind made science and politics inseparable for him. For the general public Raspail first of all was a political man.
