Title: Medal form Ebay
Post by: Eringobraugh on February 10, 2009, 03:56:30 PM

I recently bought this on Ebay....It is a Medal commemorating Napoleons battle at Marengo!

Its about 3 inches in Diameter and the inscription on the edge says "1969","Bronze" and has a cornucopia which I believe means it was minted at the Paris mint!

If anyone can tell me more about this,such as why it was restruck so recently,feel free to let me know!!!!
