Napoleon I and Marie Louise appear in finely modeled portrait relief above an imperial eagle, crown and wreath, creating a densely symbolic image of Napoleonic succession. The reverse presents the allegorical birth scene and the Latin legend NOVAM ACCIPE SPEM ORBIS.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStruck in warm golden bronze by the Monnaie de Paris, this example bears the Paris Mint cornucopia and BRONZE edge mark. That mark, together with the absence of a dated modern edge punch, supports a circa 1880–1965 production range. It is an official Paris Mint restrike from the historic dies rather than an original 1811 issue, and offers the scale and sculptural presence of a large medal in a compact format suited to a cabinet, study or collection of French historical objects.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpecs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaker\/Artist: Franz Stuckhart, original medalist\u003cbr\u003eMint: Monnaie de Paris\u003cbr\u003eYear Made: Circa 1880–1965; original design dated 1811\u003cbr\u003eCountry: France\u003cbr\u003eMaterials: Bronze\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: Approximately 49 mm \/ 1 15\/16 inches in diameter\u003cbr\u003eEdge Mark: Cornucopia and BRONZE\u003cbr\u003eReference: Bramsen 1107; Julius 2411\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCondition\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVery good vintage condition with crisp, well-defined relief.
