CCFPress Press Manager United States 1420 Posts	Posted 10/19/2025 5:11 pm NGC - Coin of the Day: On this day in 1812, Napoleon began his retreat from Moscow. This France 1812-dated Bronze Medal celebrates his entry into Moscow just a few weeks earlier, but the Russians abandoned and burned the city, forcing the French to withdraw.

WHC Valued Member Russia 185 Posts	Posted 10/22/2025 1:17 pm The Russians not only forced the French to withdraw, but themselves also occupied Paris in March 1814. This is how the word "bistro" came about. There's also a medal for the capture of Paris. Report this Post to the Staff
