This bronze medal, created by Jean Pierre Montagny in 1840, commemorates the return of Napoleon Bonaparte’s remains to France from St. Helena. The medal depicts the procession of Napoleon's coffin through the Arc de Triomphe, surrounded by a multitude of figures. The reverse side features a stylized "N" surrounded by the words "Tout pour la France, Gloire, Honneur, et Boiteux." This commemorative medal, a small yet significant artwork, reflects the enduring impact of Napoleon's legacy on French national identity.
