A bronze medal commemorating the life of Charles VII (also known as Charles the Victorious), King of France from 1422 until his death in 1461. During his reign, Charles VII succeeded in expelling the British from France, thus ending the Hundred Years' War. However, this success is often overshadowed by the deeds and eventual martyrdom of Joan of Arc, Maid of Orléans.

The obverse side of the medal displays a bust of Charles VII by Armand Caqué.

The reverse side of the medal is engraved with a short history of Charles VII.
