Commentary


Cette médaille est formée par deux plaques de fer minces, frappées, et réunies par un cercle de cuivre, auquel tient ordinairement une bélière.
Cette médaille ne porte pas d'année, mais ses légendes indiquent qu'elle doit être classée à la fin de 1789. Elle a été faite pour M. P.-F. Palloy, quoique son nom ne s'y trouve pas inscrit.
On trouve quelquefois le revers de cette pièce seul, fixé à une balle de plomb aplatie, provenant également des débris de la Bastille.
This medal is made of two thin iron plates, struck and joined by a copper circle, usually held by a suspension loop. The medal does not bear a date, but its inscriptions indicate that it dates from the end of 1789. It was made for MP-F. Palloy, although his name is not inscribed on it. Sometimes the reverse of this piece is found alone, attached to a flattened lead ball, also from the wreckage of the Bastille.

Historical background


FRENCH CONSTITUTION - NATIONAL ASSEMBLY

(20/06/1789-21/09/1792)

On June 17, 1789, the "States General" set themselves up as the "National Assembly". On June 20, the deputies of the Third Estate, as well as 149 representatives of the Clergy and 2 of the nobility, meet in the Salle du Jeu de Paume, in Versailles and swear not to separate until the Constitution is written. This is the famous "Oath of the tennis court". On July 9, this assembly became the "National Constituent Assembly". This assembly, which then had 1,200 deputies, sat first at Versailles and then at the Tuileries. From September 3 to 13, it votes the Constitution, which the King accepts. Its mission accomplished, it separated on September 30, 1791. It was immediately replaced by the Legislative Assembly..
