Design
Obverse. Nearly the same as Napoleon III Medal (BARRE), but the head much larger; the point of the beard nearly touches the first stroke of A in the legend. Beneath the head E. FALOT (the name of the engraver) curving to truncation.

Reverse. Legend and inscription same as Napoleon III Medal (BARRE), except that the letters of the inscription are smaller, and the third line is not punctuated. There is no anchor below the inscription, and a double-line hyphen separates the dates. The wreath borders of this and all that follow are in much higher relief than those of Napoleon III Medal (BARRE).
