France: 1840 gilt bronze specimen medal by Antoine Bovy, for Napoleon Bonaparte's Paris funeral.
Napoleon died in 1821 and was buried in his place of exile on the island of Saint Helena. That’s his original tomb shown on the reverse. But in 1840 they exhumed him and brought him home to Paris, amidst great fanfare.
Medals were struck for the occasion, and this is one of the few gilt ones produced.

So that’s 1840 or France, to the next player.
