One of a surprisingly long series of remarkably plaintive German Hunger medals, 1694-1847, and one of a dozen or so large jettons by Stettner (Napoleonic; Martin Luther and other subjects). |

France Napoleon Battle of Marengo 50mm ORIGINAL by Brenet |
32.00 |
|
Bramsen 38, bronze, approx 50mm across, plain edge, no edge mark, original strike
The obverse portrait of First Consul Bonaparte was done by Brenet (signature on the truncation of the bust), but the border is signed by H. Auguste, suggesting that originally the medal had been intended to be smaller. The reverse bears a quotation attributed to the First Consul: THE FIRST CONSUL, COMMANDING THE ARMY OF RESERVE: REMEMBER, BOYS, THAT I AM ACCUSTOMED TO SLEEP ON THE BATTLEFIELD. Rose suggests that the general's sleeping habits could hardly be counted on to make his soldiers fight more fiercely. According to the Constitution of the Year Eight, the First Consul could not command troops; this was Napoleon's first violation of the constitution he had given the French the previous December. Before the battle it had been stated that General Berthier was commanding the army, so the medal had to clear that up. |

Silver, plain edge, approx 31mm across, GEM BU, 1/2 Troy ounce pure silver (over 1/2 ounce total weight). From a series of fairly clever medals that the issuer intended to capture the spirit of the (suspended) US commemorative coin series. At first they were struck to the size and weight of US half dollars, but to avoid legal issues he later INCREASED the weight. It is a rather attractive series which has attracted many collectors. The early issues precede the spate of 1960s “coin-medals” and are desirable as contemporary commemoratives of various events and anniversaries. This one is by Robert McNamara of Heraldic Art Medals, Cleveland, Ohio. |
