<B>1799 Conquest of Upper Egypt Crocodile Medal.</B></I> An uncertified example of this popular medal issued to commemorate the conquest of Upper Egypt (the Sudan) by Napoleon's General Desaix. The obverse of the medal features a bust of an Egyptian pharaoh (old catalogs list the figure as the goddess Iris), while the reverse features a crocodile chained to a palm tree. This is similar to an ancient Roman coin struck in France. This is a Paris Mint issue; the catalog number is General 2: 27G. Forrer 2. This is an interesting medal with the Napoleon connection. Current market value is approximately $150-$200.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coin/Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
