Summary

[edit]
Description

The Treaty of Amiens temporarily ended hostilities between France and Britain during the Napoleonic Wars. A preliminary agreement was signed in London on September 30, 1801 and the definitive Treaty of Peace was signed at Amiens in France on March 25, 1802. The Peace of Amiens lasted only 14 months and the truce ended when Britain declared war on France on May 18, 1803.

The reverse shows a standing helmeted Mars (France) wearing a cape and cradling in his left arm a small figure of winged Victory on a globe. His right hand is extending an olive branch to a scantily clad, crowned England, who is reclining against a lion.

The obverse is a beautifully done portrait of a laureate Napoleon. The medal was designed by Rambert Dumarest
