COIN AUCTION SALE - Rarities from all around the World 15 October 2022 Lot 339: France. Napoleon, Consulate, 1799-1804. Gold medal on the occasion of naming the Quai Desaix after the deceased general Louis Charles Antoine Desaix. From the Dr. F. Collection. NGC MS63. Diameter: 42mm Starting price: 30,000 euros. A good example comes from the extensive section of coins and medals of Napoleon that are on offer in Gadoury’s auction sale. The highlight is a gold medal from Napoleon’s time as First Consul. It was dedicated to General Desaix, who was killed on 14 June 1800 in the Battle of Marengo, after securing Napoleon’s victory over Austria. Napoleon dedicated numerous tributes to his late comrade, and also named a Paris quay after him. This medal commemorates it. Today, by the way, there is no Quai Desaix in Paris anymore. It was renamed Quai Branly. #frenchcoin #frenchcoins #monnaiefrancaise #piecedemonnaie #monnaie #monnaies #monnaiefrancaise #monnaieancienne #piècesdemonnaie #numismatique #numismatics #numismatic #münze #münzen #collectiblecoins #coincollection #coincollections #coinscollection #貨幣学 #コイン #numismatist #numismatists #coinjewelry, #coinjewellery #coinjewelery #rarecoins #rarecoin #napoleoncoin #napoleoncoins #napoleon You can DOWNLOAD the catalogue online at: Gadoury Website 👉🏻 https://www.gadoury.com/en/auction @corrieri_numismatique @edalliat_numismatique @ngccoins @ngc_hong_kong @numisbids @numis_bid @sixbid_ag @biddr (en Gadoury Numismatics) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjQVQ6dK2ES/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
