lekycoin Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Hello there Is this an actual souvenir of Napoleon Bonaparte's first communion? It is dated 8 May 1868 and has the words "Souvenir de la 1 communion du prince imperial". The obverse reads "Napoleon E. L. J.J. Prince Imperial" I'd appreciate any advice and even perhaps the value of this token? Thanks Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
constanius Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Welcome Alex, it is a genuine souvenir of Napoleon IV. He would not have handled it & it is probably worth between $10-$20 in my humble opinion. It has previously been mounted to hang from a ribbon etc, note flattened area above the head, and probably worn to the communion service. See my previous post below. Napoleon IV. Baptism Medal: Obv. NAPOLEON EUG.L.J.JOS. PRINCE IMPERIAL. Rev. Baptism scene. 14 JUIN 1856. by Borrel 24mm copper. Napoleon IV. Birth Medal: Obv. NAPOLEON EUG.L.J.JOS. PRINCE IMPERIAL. Rev. NE A PARIS 16 MARS 1856. by Borrel 24mm bronze. Napoleon IV. Baptism Medal: Obv. NAPOLEON EUG.L.J.JOS. PRINCE IMPERIAL. Rev. NE LE 16 MARS ET BAPTISE A NOTRE DAME LE 14 JUIN. 1856. Gilded bronze 34mm this size is rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
