"On 13 February, 1820 the Duke of Berry was stabbed and mortally wounded. He died on 14 February. Seven months after his death, his widow, the Duchess of Berry(Marie-Caroline de Bourbon-Sicile) gave birth to a son, Henri, who received the title of Duc de Bordeaux, but who is better known as the Comte de Chambord.

On 2nd August 1830 his grandfather Charles X abdicated & a few minutes later his uncle Louis-Antoine d'Artois, Duke of Angoulême(who would have been Louis XIX, King of France) renounced his right to the throne Henri was immediately proclaimed Henri V, King of France and Navarre. However, after a reign of only a few days, his cousin the Regent usurped him & became Louis-Philippe, King of the French on 9 August.


The Duchess of Berry was compelled to follow Charles X to Holyrood after July 1830, but it was with the resolution of returning speedily and making an attempt to secure the throne for her son. From Britain she went to Italy, and in April 1832 she landed near Marseille with Louis Comte de Chaisne de Bourmont ex-General-in-Chief of the French Army, but receiving little support, she made her way towards the loyal districts of Vendée and Brittany. Her followers, however, were defeated, and, after remaining concealed for five months in a house in Nantes, she was betrayed to the government and imprisoned in the castle of Blaye, freed in July 1833 after the discovery of her recent marriage to an obscure Italian nobleman, Count Ettore Lucchesi-Palli, an act that exempted her from the French throne.

So I believe your medalette can be dated pretty acurately 1830-1832."
