Hi all! I am sharing this post partly to exhibit my medals but also with the aspiration that others will find this page a valuable resource in their pursuit of knowledge regarding this particular Napoleonic medal set. Many of these medals are frequently sold as individual pieces, often separated from their original collection, rendering a complete set an uncommon find. In the near future, I plan to contact the Club Français de la Monnaie in the hope that they can provide further historical and contextual insights into this collection. Should I uncover additional information, I will update this post accordingly. I encourage you to contribute any research or findings you may have on these medals in the comment section of this post. Here are some photos of my set:

Here is a video going over some of the history of the medals:

Bob even says that he cannot find any bit of info on these medals. So we have to go with the best bet that they might have been released in the late 20th century.
