Samuel Lambelet
Samuel Lambelet (* 1663 in Neuchâtel ; † April 21, 1727 in Braunschweig ) was a German coin cutter and medalist .
Life
The son of a Swiss judge can be traced back to October 17, 1695 as a die cutter at the Clausthal mint . Previous activity in Paris as a medalist for Louis XIV is uncertain. After he was last proven on December 9, 1715 in Clausthal , Lambelet worked from 1717 to 1727 as a medalist and die cutter at the mint in Braunschweig. He died in Braunschweig in 1727. The use of a stamp created by him for the Brunswick thaler coinage is documented for the year 1729.
