GOSSET, GEDEON (Brit.). Brother of Isaac Gosset. Supposed to have worked as Modeller in wax, but no medals can be traced to him. He was descended from Jean Gosset, the refugee, who on his adopting the Protestant faith, after 1555, was deprived of his title to the Norman nobility, and fled to Jersey, from St Sauveur or St. Lo.

GESSNER HANS JAKOB
GESSNER HANS JAKOB (Swiss). Medallist and Coin-engraver of Zurich, son of the preceding. He took his father's place at the Zurich Mint, on the latter's death, and although it is possible that some of the Elder Gessner's dies remained in use after 1737, I should think the younger Gessner engraved the signed Half-thalers of Zurich, from 1739 to 1773 and other coins of that period. Amongst this engraver's best known works are : Medal on the Fourth Centenary of the Establishment of Guilds at Zurich...
