Each reproduction Medallion bears its own French Meaning:
Dating back to the middle ages, the custom of placing an "X" on the envelope, represented sincerity, faith and honesty. It was then sealed with a kiss by the signer as a display of their sworn oath.
History of the Sword + Crown: After losing battles in Italy and Germany and with chaos rattling France, Napoleon read that the leaders of France were claiming that "only an army dictator could save France". Seizing the opportunity to "save" the government at home, upon his arrival in Paris (as stated by Napoleon himself), he "found" the crown of France just lying in the gutter and picked it up w/the tip of his sword" and it was his.
