Vintage Napoleon I Empereur Coin Brooch Pin - Gold Tone Commemorative Souvenir

A detailed vintage pin featuring a replica coin of Napoleon Bonaparte. This striking commemorative brooch centers on a medallion or faux coin bearing the profile of Napoleon I (Emperor of France) and the inscription "NAPOLEON EMPEREUR." The piece is set in a plain gold-tone metal bezel. The back of the pin retains its original hinged clasp and pin mechanism, secured by a decorative Maltese Cross mount. This style of pin was a popular souvenir or costume piece, dating from the late Victorian period through to the mid-20th century. Condition: Material: Non-precious metal (likely brass or base alloy) with gold-tone plating. Flaws: Visible plating wear, scratches, and the metal is noted as malleable and not perfectly straight, consistent with its vintage construction and age.
