This complete set of bronze medals commemorates events of National importance to the Kingdom of France, which occurred during the first part of the reign of Louis Philippe I. Some of the medals relate to the story of an attempted assassination on the life of the king, in which many citizens were killed. Other medals are in honor of the political victory achieved in obtaining the new revised Constitution or Charter, as part of the law. There are some medals that record for the ages, civic events such as the visitation of the King and Queen of Belgium to Paris in 1833, the visit of Louis Philippe to the departments (states) of France, his review of the National Guard of France; the distribution of flags celebration in 1830; some medals record the birth of the infant Prince, and some are in honor, or in memory of, famous contemporaries of that period. Other Medals record the re-establishment of the statue of Napoleon, and many other historical events and celebrations that were important over 130 years ago to the kingdom of France.
