I came across this eBay listing for the Institut Supérieur de l'Aéronautique et de l'Espace (ISAE) engineering school medallion. A quick search reveals the spacecraft shown on the medallion is the Eridanus space plane.

I see the resemblance but the "Eridanus space plane" is a fictional reusable spacecraft designed by the Italian users of the Orbiter simulator software, circa 2011, nearly 30 years after the medal was struck.
