Saint Helena medal, original gilded decoration with old ribbon.
Attributed during second Empire to survivors of the Grande Armée.
Ordonnance type 31,3 mm.
A period medal; the ribbon is vintage but of a later date (mid-20th century at the latest)—the same type used for the *Croix de Guerre* from 1914 onwards.
It is nearly identical, save for the fact that the "raspberry-colored" stripes have been replaced by red ones.
Recipients nicknamed it the "chocolate medal." Some had their medals silver-plated or even gilded; this is one of those rare examples.
In very good condition, with all details exceptionally well-preserved.

We have also included two pieces: a "Silver Trade Unit" and a "Trade Dollar."

19 german banknotes from 1910 to 1937
A collection of German banknotes, the oldest dating from 1910 with a face value of 100 marks—a substantial sum at the time—along with ten other 100-mark notes from 1920, and so on.
Note the 1-million-mark note, which dates from the period of German hyperinflation, when prices would rise several times a day.
A wheelbarrow full of banknotes was barely enough to buy a loaf of bread.
It was a nightmarish period that traumatized the German people, who have been careful to keep inflation under control ever since.

And meanwhile, on the other side of the Atlantic... US coin, limited mintage. Price per unit
Attractive patinated silver appearance; 38 mm in diameter, except for the 1906 issue, which measures slightly over 39 mm.
Why offer these copies? It is essentially because of the date appearing on some of the coins: 1804, the year of the Emperor's coronation.
These coins bear witness to a country that had just broken free from British rule—a nation that was then a minor power but would soon go on to impress the world.

Medal of chevalier de la Légion d'Honneur. Second Empire. To restore. 40 x 40 mm. Sample 2
A model very similar to the final versions from the First Empire.
The main difference lies in the vertical positioning of the two ribbon ends beneath the laurel wreath.
Following the proclamation of the Second Empire, small eagles replaced the palm fronds on the crown surmounting the cross.
Dimensions: 40 x 40 mm (excluding the crown). The enamel requires restoration; cold-enameling techniques exist—such as those used to repair damaged antique bathtubs—that can be employed for this purpose.
Please view the photos to assess the extent of the work needed. Purchase with full awareness of the item's condition.
Original ribbon; no metal loss. These medals are over 150 years old and remain genuine collector's items, yet we are selling them at low prices

Set of 5 fine antique-style copies of ancient coins.
In the 1970s, a family member was living in Lebanon.
Young men would offer interested buyers coins said to come from ships that had sunk near ancient sites.
Lebanon is home to so many archaeological treasures that the story seemed plausible; moreover, the coins were beautiful and were mixed in with other, completely authentic ones.
An expert consulted recently quickly shattered the illusion... they are copies—too beautiful to be genuine.
While we may never find the real period coins, we are offering this small set to you at a modest price.
18 to 20 mm

Banknote of 100 Fr Bonaparte in a clear wood frame sided by a bee and an eagle
Napoleon never had a French banknote bearing his portrait, nor a Paris street named after him.
Bonaparte, on the other hand, was much more respectable, and he was entitled to both...
The banknote depicting him is polychrome and printed intaglio.
Bonaparte's choice was obvious since he founded the Banque de France in 1800.
Clément Serveau took as his model the Unfinished Portrait of Bonaparte, a painting by Jacques-Louis David painted in 1798.
The first banknote, the 10,000 franc Bonaparte, was issued on December 1, 1955, and put into circulation on December 11, 1956, by the Banque de France.
On October 30, 1958, following the transition to the Fifth Republic and the introduction of the "New Franc," which saw the value of the franc multiplied by 100, the banknotes issued that day were overprinted with the red inscription « contre-valeur de 100 nouveaux francs ». These banknotes are rare and expensive.
Later, banknotes of this model bore the inscription 100 NF on the front and 100 on the back, within the frames indicating their values.
Printed from March 1959 to April 1964, this banknote ceased to be legal tender on April 30, 1971.
We offer one copy of this banknote in a frame that showcases it ,and will find its place in a Napoleonic collection.
