| A fascinating mule medal that has a series of differences/errors in the standard reference works. The obvious error is the reversed N's on Napoleon's name on the obverse. That definitely makes this medal Bramsen 958, at least the obverse of it. If you look at the reverse description below you can see that this example uses a different reverse, the same as the one on Bramsen 956. The use of a different reverse is why I call it a mule, the particular combination not listed in any of my current references. |
