Napoleon I. First Empire (1804-14). Restoration of Medals bronze Medal 1804 MS64 Brown NGC, Bramsen-379, Julius-1330, by Andrieu. 41mm. Silky in the fields and razor-sharp in the devices, this skill in which this well-executed piece is produced captures the pride Napoleon had in his medals, its subject commemorating the same. Some slight metal flaws are noted on Napoleon's neck for completeness, besides which this example is virtually pristine.
