    Neapoleon Medal

    I consider this to be my best find, although the medal has no date. It is a Peace medal of Honor issued by Neapoleon starting in 1802. The photo of the obverse is very poor. The medal is in Mint condition. All the wrighting is in French. It was found at an old home site which was built in 1809 by people that came to the US from France. Because the dates are so close I feel the Medal is an original. Thanks for looking. HH
