A 68mm bronze medal of the Paris Mint, struck to commemorate the 1881 Baptism of the King of Rome. Rev: the Emperor holding his infant son above the baptism well, winged lion throne behind. Obv: right-facing portrait of Napoleon, "Napoleon Empereur Et Roi" above, very small text below: "J.P. Droz Fecit / AN. 1809". Edge-impressed "CUIVRE". Believed to be the original Paris Mint striking, gEF or better with minor traces of paste among devices from an early sloppy attempt at cleaning. Housed in an early hinged octagonal burgandy case.
