FRANCE, Premier Empire. Napoleon I Bonaparte. 1804-1814. Doré Medal (40.01 g, 12h). Commemorating the 1807 Peace of Tilsit. Andrieu and Droz, engravers; Denon, mint director. Later restrike, circa 1880-1950. Laureate heads right of Napoleon I of France, Alexander I of Russia, and William III of Prussia / River god reclining left, holding building on raft, leaning on urn from which water flows; tree to left. On edge: cornucopia and METAL • D. Bramsen 640. Superb EF, a few light marks.


The edge marking of a cornucopia and metal were used on all restrikes from 1880 to the 1950s, after which time the year of restrike was added. However, the appearance of the metal on this particular coin suggests a date after 1900.
