Duitse gedenkpenning op de Franse rol in de Oostenrijkse Successieoorlog, 1742 1742

This 1742 commemorative medal, created by an anonymous artist, depicts the French role in the War of the Austrian Succession. On one side, a boat with a lion-like figure rowing it represents the French, while on the other side, a phoenix, symbolizes the French military prowess. This intricate artwork is a powerful representation of the historical conflict and the perceived strength of the French nation during this era. The use of symbolism and the inscription, "Nec Pluribus Impar", which translates to "Not Unequal to Many", further emphasize the French resolve and their ability to overcome challenges.
