This is a beautiful medal that the scan does not do justice to. It is absolutely uncirculated, toned with the only visible damage after over 170 years is a small nick over the the 'E' in D'ANVERS on the reverse. I was unable to find it in either Bramsen or d'Essling but I can't believe that it's not there (so any help...).
