Pierre-Alexandre Morlon

Pierre-Alexandre Morlon (1878 - 1951) is a French engraver-médailliste.

In 1931, it creates a new type of currency to the head of republic carrying the Phrygian cap girds ears and sheets of oak to the avers; with the horns of plenty to the reverse: the Standard Morlon. This engraving was used for the coins of 50 centimes, a franc and two francs until in 1959.

It also carried out parts for the Uruguay, with the avers very near to the French parts.

The Church Saint-Michel of Wittelsheim (68) built in 1931 and partly rebuilt after 1945, comprises sculptures of Morlon on its principal frontage.
