EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite silver medal, designed by the renowned Belgian artist Albert-Félix Bovy, commemorates the historic visit of Empress Eugénie of France to Egypt in 1869. The obverse side of the medal features a detailed profile of Empress Eugénie, wearing her imperial crown, with the inscription "Eugenie Imp. et Roi. de France" encircling the edge. The reverse side is adorned with a beautiful border of leaves and flowers, symbolizing the lush vegetation of Egypt. Empress Eugénie's visit to Egypt was a significant event in the late 19th century, as it marked the first time a French monarch had traveled to the Middle East since the Crusades. The visit was meant to strengthen diplomatic relations between France and Egypt, which was then under Ottoman rule. The Empress's journey was met with great fanfare, and she was welcomed with open arms by the Egyptian people. The medal, dated 1869, is a testament to the artistic and cultural exchange that took place during this time. Bovy's design captures the essence of the visit, with the imperial profile on one side and the natural beauty of Egypt represented on the other. The medal is a beautiful reminder of the historical connections between France and the Middle East during the 1860s, and a tribute to the artistic talent of Albert-Félix Bovy.
