Napoleon I. First Empire (1804-14). Paris Chamber of Commerce silver Medal 1804 MS61 NGC, Bramsen-305, by Andrieu. 36mm. Intriguing for its octagonal shape, this scarce piece commemorates the formation of the Paris Chamber of Commerce, an institution defending the interests of Paris-based companies since 1803. A charming silver example, a crisp frosty white in appearance fringed with a light golden-brown tone encroaching from the upper peripheries; although bearing some hairlines in the field as is usual for these types, the overall effect is highly visually appealing and this piece is sure to attract particular attention from those interested in the Napoleonic series.
