Bramsen-954. Obverse: Dual bust of Napoleon Bonaparte and Marie Louise facing left; Reverse: The couple dressed in Romanic garb shake hands in front of an alter toped by flame and adorned with Cupid's bow and Hymen's torch. This desirous medal appeals with a strong strike in high relief and an overall deep tone that moderates into rainbow tones as the central devices are reached with the eye.
