Burdick's French Historical Napoleonic Medals & Jetons

Set Description
This set will tell the history of the French revolution against the ancien régime, Napoleon's rise to power, to the fall of the French Empire and a reversion back to the monarchy through medals and jetons. It will also demonstrate the changing of the times from an agricultural society, to industrialization and the appreciation of the arts and sciences that helped to launch the industrial revolution in Europe.

Set Goals
The collection will seek out medals, jetons and tokens that tell the history of Europe from the late 1700s to the early 1900s. The collection will be a "type collection" with an item to mark the significant historical events of this era. The collection will not seek to limit its scope to any one particular metal type whether it be copper, bronze, silver, gold, or gilt. As a secondary objective the collection will seek to display at least one example from each of the great designers of the time (Bovy, Webb, Bazor, Dupree, Denon, Andrieu, etc.)

It will include amongst other things examples of the following types:
- Julius
- Bramsen
- Eimer
- Hennen
- Maz
- Feuardent
- Lerouge
