This bronze medal, created by Conrad Heinrich Küchler in 1793, is a commemorative piece honoring Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette. The obverse features profiles of the French royal couple, facing right, with their names inscribed around the rim in Latin. The inscription "FATI INIQUI" below the figures, meaning "unjust fate", likely alludes to their tragic fate during the French Revolution. This historical medal is a poignant reminder of the tumultuous era that brought down the French monarchy.
