Medal commemorating the Battle of the Pyramids in 1798, in which Napoleon Bonaparte's forces defeated the Mamluk army and vanquished the final remnants of the old Eqyptian pharonic kingdoms. Julius-626, 41mm, dies by Antoine (de) Bovy, 1841-42 Restrike in Copper by the Paris Mint, edge marked with the "Anchor" privy used during this period. Choice Uncirculated, certified NGC MS-63, the only copy in the Census (Dec. 2018).  Very minor edge marks from contact as typical for a large medal, otherwise no wear or damage. There may be a small contact area atop Napoleon's hair at the highest point of relief, as there is a "bright" spot at this location - likely from being pulled/pushed in and out of an undersized plastic flip. Some light blue toning highlights on surfaces displaying much original reflective surface, some hints of original Red in protected areas. A rare and popular medal with its association to one of France's favorite Sons, and a controversial figure to this day; not often seen outside European shores.  Difficult to price to a lack of sales data, my price based upon other similar Napoleonic medal sales.
