Please note that the reverse is slightly different from the first four medals, at the level of the Saint's feet: the inscription "SAINT TROPEZ" is missing.
(1697) Azure, Saint Tropez dressed as a pilgrim Or, his head diademed Or, holding in his dexter hand a sword Argent, point down. https://armorialdefrance.fr/page_blason.php?ville=12839

From a corsair town dominated by its 16th-century citadel to a fishing village at the beginning of the 20th century, the first town to be liberated during the Provence landings became, from the 1950s onwards, an internationally renowned seaside resort on the Var Côte d'Azur, thanks to the infatuation of New Wave artists and then the Yéyés, and finally, a vacation spot for the European and American Jet Sets, as well as tourists in search of Provencal authenticity or celebrities.https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint-Tropez
