France LoH with a trefoil on the top of the crown

[Sergio]

Hello Gents!

Please, help me to identify the time period of this type of LoH's crown with a trefoil on the top. This award - a hybrid with medallions of the 2-nd Empire, but I've never seen the same crown before.

Thanks in advance :beer:

Any opinions?

Hi Sergio,

There is a Medal of Honor from the Second Restoration period with same trefoil top on the crown. However the medallion has King Henri IV rather than Napoleon.

Hello Marcus! Thanks for your reply! But there are lilies, not trefoil on the LoH from the Second Restoration!

Just compare them!

I agree, they do look different. I would suggest contacting Bison a member of GMIC. He seems to be an expert on LOH.

and the French site http://www.forum-insignes-medailles.net. The French site has many experts on LOH as well.

Best Wishes,

Hi

It is a crown of the King Louis-Philippe period. It is not a trefoil, but a "fleuron" (a sort of flower) in French.

Usually, the crowns of this period don't have this kind of ornament at the top. This kind of crowns with that kind of cross-like "fleuron" have been reported sometimes.
