HUBER, JOHANN FRIEDRICH (Swiss). Medallist and Coin-engraver, born at Basle in 1766. He studied at Rome, and was a pupil of Johann Martin Bückle. Towards the end of the eighteenth century he was working at the mint of Basle, but in 1805 he entered into Eartnership with an art-dealer of his native city, from which time he apparently ceased to do medal-work. Huber's full signature I. F. HVBER appears on a Prize Medal of the City and Republic of Basle, 1792, given to representatives of Swiss States which furnished troops to protect the frontier at the time of the French wars. A Portrait-medal of Andreas Buxtorf, Burgomaster of Basle, 1786, is signed Huber. According to some, the Thalers and Half Thalers of the Helvetic Republic, 1798, signed H, were engraved by Huber, although they are attributed to Handmann by others. Handmann was employed at the Mint of Basle at the same period and signed some of the coins with EH or H. Schlickeysen mentions a certain Huber as Die-sinker at Nurem- berg in 1797.
