DROZ, JEAN (Swiss). Engraver at the Mint of Geneva, from before the 17th of September, 1540, until the 16th November, 1556. From the 8th of March, 1546, to the 8th March, 1547, he was employed both as Assayer and Engraver. It is very probable that he succeeded Louis Gaillard in 1539, as from documents we find he had engraved dies for Testons already before the 11th of September, 1540. Bibliography. — Dr. C. F. Trachsel, Les Maîtres, les Graveurs et les Essayeurs de la Monnaie de Geneve,1535-1792, Bulletin de la Société suisse de numismatique, 1885. — E. Demôle, Histoire monétaire de Genéve.
