IMPORTANT NOTE - The Buyer's Premium is now $20 per lot or 20% of the hammer price, whichever amount is greater. However, we have also reduced opening bids on lower value items to adjust for the new Buyer's Premium structure, so all-in costs are still very close to what they were in the past. This change in fee structure will allow us to continue to offer coins valued at less than $100 in addition to our higher value offerings. Contact us with any questions.
FRANCE: Napoleon I, Emperor, 1804-1814, AE medal, 1807, Bramsen-631, 40mm bronze medal by Andrieu, mintmaster Denon, Napoleon in Osterode, Poland; NAPOLEON A OSTERODE, laureate head to right; ANDRIEU F. / DENON DIRT. in two lines below truncation // FABIUS CUNCTATOR, bare head of Fabius Cunctator to left; DENON DIRT. below truncation, a wonderful mint state example! NGC graded MS64 BN. Napoleon was in Osterode, Poland, during February to April 1807, following the Battle of Eylau in February 1807. He used the castle in Osterode as his headquarters during this time. French troops were gathered in and around Osterode as they awaited reinforcements from France. Quintus Fabius Maximus Verrucosus, nicknamed "Cunctator" (meaning "the Delayer"), was a Roman general and statesman who lived during the 3rd century BC. He is most famous for his military strategy during the Second Punic War, where he employed a policy of attrition against Hannibal's forces, avoiding direct battles and focusing on wearing down the enemy through strategic maneuvers and harassment. This tactic, known as the "Fabian strategy", ultimately contributed to Rome's eventual victory.
