Selections from the Eric P. Newman Collection of World Coins. Naples & Sicily. Joachim Murat silver Medal 1813, for the return of Joachim Murat to Naples after the Russian Campaign, Julius-2741, Bramsen-1296, Ricciardi-93, 39 gm, 43mm, MS63 NGC. Obv. Bust of Joachim Murat right. Rev. Victory crowning Murat as he rides to the right on horseback. An extremely rare medal and the first we have seen in silver. We note that one example in gold and one in bronze were sold in 2008 by Numismatica Ars Classica. The copper example brought a stunning price of 2,000 euros, an amazing amount for a medal of this era in copper, while the gold sold for 85,000 euros. This gorgeous silver piece should elicit strong interest.
Estimate: 4000-5000 USD
