Medal in Commemoration of the Union of France and England, 1854. Creator: Unknown

Medal in Commemoration of the Union of France and England, 1854. Mr. Hart, the celebrated Medallist of Brussels, has just struck this very fine Medal, commemorative of the alliance of England and France on the Eastern question [Crimean War]. In the centre of the principal side is an excellent portrait of the Sultan, surrounded with the words "Abdul-Medjid Khan, Empereur des Ottomans". On a very richly-designed border, surrounding the central figure, are a series of small shields supported by swords and banners, emblematic of England, France, and Turkey...On the obverse, "History" holds a laurel wreath, and is recording upon a pyramid the words "Victoire Napoleon, 1854" - La Mer Noire et le Danube seront libres". Around the medal are the words, "La France et l'Angleterre unies pour la Defense du Droit;" and at the foot of the seated figure, the words "Dieu le Veut"'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854
