Comment
Engraver: Montagny Jean-Pierre (1789-1862).
The MONTAGNY on this medal is probably Jean-Pierre, whose brother, father and uncles were also engravers.
L. Vivien's "Histoire générale de la Révolution française, de l'Empire, de la restauration, de la Monarchie de 1830" was published by Pourrat frères in 1844. This medal was certainly an advertising medal commissioned by the publisher Pourrat Frères.
