France
Napoleon I. First Empire (1804-14). Founding of the Legion of Honor Girl's Orphanages silvered bronze Medal 1810 UNC, Bramsen-980, Julius-2311, by Andrieu. 40.5mm. The silvering near complete save for some light discoloration to the high points of the obverse and with only the most unobtrusive verdigris present on the reverse, this bright and scarcer medal type is exceptionally deeply-rendered, the fields boasting their original die-polish lines, the overall execution exquisite. Certainly worthy of a selective Napoleonic collection.
