Commentary
Les carrés de cette médaille ont été réalisés en mai 1849 par Gayrard suite à un traité passé le 19 mai 1849 avec le questeur de l’Assemblée nationale pour la somme de 1800 francs (Launay, p. 216).
Médaille attribuée en 1849 à Alexis de Tocqueville (1805-1859) philosophe politique, politiste, précurseur de la sociologie et homme politique français. Député de la Manche dès 1839, il est membre de la Commission chargée de la rédaction de la Constitution française de 1848. Il défend les institutions libérales, le bicamérisme (la séparation du Parlement en deux chambres distinctes), la décentralisation ainsi que l'élection du Président de la République au suffrage universel.

Historical background
SECOND REPUBLIC
(02/24/1848-12/2/1852)
Louis-Napoleon was elected on December 10, 1848 as the first President of the Second Republic. He did not have the right to run again in 1852. Louis-Napoleon decided to make a coup planned for December 2, 1851, the anniversary of the coronation of the Eagle and the commemoration of the Battle of Austerlitz. The coup is ratified by a plebiscite on December 21 with more than 7.5 million YES and only 640,000 NO. Victor Hugo went into exile on December 12. The following year, he will publish "Napoléon le Petit" which will earn Louis-Napoleon, who has become Napoleon III in the meantime, this famous sentence: "Napoleon le Petit by Victor le Grand".
