elverno Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 1796 Napoleon in Italy, France. 24mm Hennin 763 var. d'Essling 696 This is one of the earliest medals or jetons issued with the image of Napoleon on it. Of the many variants of the "Les fruits..." this probably has one of the first engravings of Napoleon, probably modeled from life. I say that because it looks like he needed someone to comb his hair... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
