vintage gold-tone Napoleon Bonaparte commemorative medallion piece, often designed as a costume jewelry brooch, pin, or pendant.Key Details & Identification:The Design: The obverse side depicts the right-facing profile of Emperor Napoleon I wearing a classic Roman laurel wreath (victor's laurels). It features the text abbreviated as "NAPOLEON EMP. ET ROI." (Napoleon, Emperor and King).The Frame: The medallion is encased in an ornate, openwork filigree frame styled with decorative scrollwork, hearts, and small perimeter beads.Origin: While originally based on 19th-century French commemorative mint medals designed by artists like Jean-Bertrand Andrieu, this specific framed version is highly characteristic of mid-to-late 20th-century vintage fashion jewelry. Prominent vintage costume jewelry companies, such as Coro, produced similar imperial revival statement pieces during the 1960s and 1970s.
