constanius Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 Obverse: A rearing horse, right. Legend: FRISCH MIT GEWALT Exergue: 1800 Rev: Amid the symbols of battle, one of peace. Legend DER FRIED KOMMT BALT Exergue: 1800 According to Vern "This is probably a piece commemorating the Battle of Marengo" Jeton brass 25mm, a variant to Vern's jeton on napoleonicmedals.com, the obverse is a bit weak & from a worn die but the reverse is just fabulous, in my humble opinion.

elverno Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 Of course that's just a guess on my part but what a wonderful jeton! I drool and not just because it's almost 1:30 in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elverno Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 I think you're right. He has another up now. Probably picked up a collection because he has an interesting Bramsen 878 variant that I'm about to post and then put another, though more worn, up as well.

frank Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Didn't Napoleon name one of his horses "Marengo" after the battle? (speaking of horses) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
