I need help to identify this medal. I am pretty sure that it is french but I would love to know what it was created for, when and what value it might have. It is about the size of a Morgan silver dollar and I believe it is silver.

Assuming the pics that show right now are the ones you're asking about...

Here's a Google translation of the French text:

You have three posts of the same thing ... may I suggest that you contact a mod to have two of them removed?

Will do. Had some difficulties with images. Found out why and shouldn't have the issue again.

Beautiful medal, this. It's truly a work of art, a museum piece. Enjoy your role as current curator!
