Commentary
Diamètre sans bélière : 28,5 mm
La médaille est simplement signalée dans le Carde, sans illustration. Le personnage semble très important pour l’histoire de Bordeaux “l’armateur Balguerie-Stuttenberg ( 1778-1825 ) crée la Banque de Bordeaux, la Caisse d’Epargne et de Prévoyance, des compagnies pour financer les grands travaux dans l’agglomération. C’est le cas de la construction du Pont de Pierre, retardée par l’instabilité politique ambiante et arrêtée après qu’une crue eut emporté cinq piles du pont en construction ( 1813 ). Les commerçants de Bordeaux, avec à leur tête l’armateur Balguerie-Stuttenberg, créent une association et collectent 2 millions de francs pour que les travaux de construction du Pont de Pierre reprennent. Il sera achevé en 1821.
Après vingt ans de guerre, la perte des colonies, les assignats ( monnaie révolutionnaire ) n’ont plus de valeur. L’économie bordelaise est exsangue. Le blocus commercial sur les mers imposé par les Anglais coupe Bordeaux de ses richesses. La ville et de nombreuses maisons de commerce sont au bord de la faillite.
Le grand commerce maritime Bordelais reprend à partir des années 1815-1816.

La mesure du diamètre est prise en axe vertical, bélière comprise.
Diameter without bail: 28.5 mm The medal is simply indicated in the Card, without illustration. The character seems very important for the history of Bordeaux “the shipowner Balguerie-Stuttenberg (1778-1825) created the Bank of Bordeaux, the Savings and Provident Fund, companies to finance major works in the agglomeration. This is the case of the construction of the Pont de Pierre, delayed by the surrounding political instability and stopped after a flood carried away five piers of the bridge under construction (1813). Bordeaux merchants, led by the shipowner Balguerie-Stuttenberg, created an association and collected 2 million francs so that construction work on the Pont de Pierre could resume.. It will be completed in 1821.
After twenty years of war, the loss of the colonies, the assignats (revolutionary currency) no longer have any value. The Bordeaux economy is bleeding dry. The commercial blockade on the seas imposed by the English cuts Bordeaux off from its riches. The city and many business houses are on the verge of bankruptcy.
The great maritime trade of Bordeaux resumed from the years 1815-1816.

Historical background
LOUIS XVIII
(04/06/1814-09/16/1824)
Louis-Stanislas-Xavier was born in Versailles in 1755 from the union of Dauphin Louis (son of Louis XV) and Marie-Josèphe Louise de Savoie. He first received the title of Count of Provence and was called Monsieur when his older brother, Louis XVI, became king in 1774.. Married to Louise Marie-Joséphine de Savoie in 1771, he had no children. Often in opposition to the Court, he did not initially condemn the movement of 1789 but the evolution of events decided him to leave Paris in the company of his wife, the very day of Louis XVI's flight to Varennes, but by another way. Refugee in Koblenz with his brother, the Count of Artois, he took the title of regent after the execution of Louis XVI then, on the death of his nephew Louis XVII, that of king. He began to work on the restoration despite the weak support at his disposal and had to change residence several times in the face of the victories of the Revolution and of Bonaparte.. With the First Empire, the monarchical cause seemed hopeless and Louis XVIII settled in England in a period of exile and financial embarrassment.. During the first defeats of Napoleon I, Louis XVIII resumed his diplomatic activity which, on the initiative of Talleyrand and thanks to English support, enabled him to return to France in May 1814.. Forced to flee to Ghent during the Hundred Days, Louis XVIII, during the second Restoration, tried to carry out the same policy of reconciliation as that defined on his first return to France.. After the White Terror (execution of Marshal Ney), the regime softened and fell asleep. Duke Decazes replaces Richelieu from 1818. Despite royalist pressure, Louis XVIII strongly supported the moderate policy of Decazes in the early years. France is reintegrated into the concert of Nations after the Congress of Aix-la-Chapelle. Occupation forces leave France. The law on censorship is relaxed in 1819. That year, Géricault presented the Raft of the Medusa. The policy of conciliation ceases after the assassination of the Duke of Berry on February 13, 1820 by Louvel. Overwhelmed by the reaction of the ultras after this assassination, Decazes resigned on February 20 and the Duke of Richelieu was recalled, thus marking the triumph of the right for the end of the reign and for the following reign.. The child of the miracle, Henri, Duke of Bordeaux, posthumous son of Charles Duke of Berry and Marie-Caroline de Bourbon, was born on September 29, 1820. Napoleon I died in Saint Helena on May 5, 1821.. Villele replaces Richelieu on December 14, 1821. The end of the reign is marked by the expedition to Spain, commanded by the Duke of Angoulême, organized in order to restore Ferdinand VII, driven out by the liberals. The French took Madrid on May 23, Fort Trocadéro on August 31, and Cadiz on September 30, 1823.. Louis XVIII, ill and crippled (gout), died September 16, 1824. He is buried in Saint-Denis on September 23.
