[numis]

I have a bronze table medal 37mm by Bove. Obv.: bust of Gen Dufour C-i-C Swiss Army

Rev : inscription in French : The People of Switzerland to the Federal Army N ov.1847 .

I have been advised that this was for the defeat of the Sonderbund

Can anyone provide any more information about this medal? Was it given to all in the Army or just part ? How many might have been issued ?

Hello from France, in S.S.P (swiss society of phaleristique) 1998 n°64.

j can read rapidly 2.300 + 100 medals by A. BOVY but just for Geneve volontary men.

that's just a first idea and scuse my english. 

the best for all.

Thank you Pat 66.Much appreciated 

Could you possibly expand on the figures quoted.

Are you saying that 2400 in total were issued or just 100?

Thank you for the clarification pat66

It would seem that this is a fairly  scarce medal
