I really have a problem holding back from bidding on certain design/historical pieces. This indicates I have an issue with focusing. Price on Ebay was $45 shipped while an auction for same piece brought much more, so I lucked out - Auction
This is a 60mm Napoleonic bronze medal depicting the Battle of Marengo. It is signed by the artists MONTAGNY , ANDRIEU.
The Battle of Marengo was a major engagement of the French Revolutionary Wars , fought on June 14, 1800, at the village of Marengo in Piedmont, northern Italy. Determined to throw the Austrians back from positions they had recently regained in Lombardy and Piedmont, Napoleon Bonaparte gathered an army at Dijon and crossed into Italy by way of the Great St. Bernard Pass. A surprise attack by the Austrians under Baron Michael Melas (1729-1806) at Marengo caught Bonaparte with his forces scattered. A French defeat seemed imminent until a division that Bonaparte had sent off under General Desaix de Veygoux returned in time to lead a successful counterattack. The French lost about 5,800 men, the Austrians 9,400.

Ha ha! At first I thought you were commenting on photography. I had to go back and read the OP again!
Nice piece! I like it!
