Commentary

Le 21 Mai 1848, Le Champs de Mars accueille la fête de la Concorde qui rassemble les corporations de Paris. A cette occasion défilent les légions de la garde nationale, de la garde mobile (corps militaire professionnel créé au lendemain de la Révolution de Février, recruté dans la jeunesse populaire). Un mois plus tard éclate l'insurrection de Juin.
Le lot est composé d’un jeton en cuivre bronzé et d’un jeton en cuivre argenté.
On May 21, 1848, the Champs de Mars hosted the Fête de la Concorde, which brought together the corporations of Paris. On this occasion, the legions of the National Guard and the Mobile Guard (a professional military corps created in the aftermath of the February Revolution, recruited from the youth of the working class) paraded. A month later, the June Uprising broke out. The lot consists of a bronzed copper token and a silver-plated copper token.
