Commentary
Bonaparte, d'après le premier dictionnaire Larousse, est un général corse né le 15 août 1769 et mort à Saint-Cloud le 9 novembre 1799. Il termine la notule par "Pour le reste, voir au tyran Napoléon". Dictionnaire politiquement correct s'il en fut! Bonaparte, est nommé général en chef de l'armée d'Italie, ce que rappelle ce jeton qui exalte les vertus des soldats qui servaient avec lui. Le portrait est très interessant et objectivement le premier de la série qui se termine avec la 2 F 1815.
Historical background
FIRST FRENCH EMPIRE. Napoléon Emperor bare head - Republican calendar
(18/05/1804-6/04/1814)
Napoleon proclaimed himself king of Italy on March 7, 1805 and appointed viceroy Eugène de Beauharnais, his son-in-law. Genoa is annexed to France on June 6. Napoleon I, from the camp of Boulogne, prepared an invasion of England during the spring and summer of 1805. The formation of the third coalition with Austria, England, Russia, Sweden and Naples on August 9 forces Bonaparte to leave Boulogne quickly; at the head of the Grande Armée, he went to the aid of Bavaria invaded by the Austrians. The capitulation of Ulm on October 20 opens the doors of Vienna which is invested on November 14. Meanwhile, the Franco-Spanish squadron was destroyed at Trafalgar by the English fleet commanded by Admiral Nelson who died during the battle. Napoleon won the Battle of Austerlitz on December 2, 1805 over the Austro-Russians. The Treaty of Pressburg gives Napoleon Venetia and Dalmatia.
