Silver Medal Commemorating The Coronation Of Napoleon I

A rare silver medal awarded during Napoleon’s coronation.
Made of gold or silver, the largest ones were given to dignitaries who attended the ceremony,
while the smaller ones were thrown to the crowd from the forecourt of Notre Dame.

Reverse: two figures, symbolizing the Senate and the people, support the Emperor on a shield, flanked on either side
by a book of laws and a plowshare, with the inscriptions: “the Senate and the people,” “AN XIII,” “Denon Dir,” “Jeuffroy F.”
Very slight wear on the reliefs, a few small impacts.
Smooth edge.
