René Baudichon (24 March 1878 – 1963) was a French sculptor and medallist.[1] The artist was born in Tours, France, studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in his native town, and graduated from the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris.
He is known for his fine art medals, which are considered a form of exonumia. These include a medal commemorating the sinking of the RMS Lusitania[broken anchor]. He also created in 1922 an award-winning hood ornament in the form of a caricature lion for the automobile company Peugeot.[2][3]
