A bronze medal commemorating the establishment of the French First Republic (1792-1804). The Republic was founded in 1792 by the newly formed National Convention upon the abolition of the monarchy. In 1795, the National Convention formed the Directory which saw the establishment of a bicameral Parliament. This system of Parliament was overthrown by Napoleon Bonaparte and co-conspirators who formed the French Consulate in 1799. Eventually, Napoleon would launch the age of the French First Empire which would see him become the Emperor of France.

The obverse side of the medal displays an allegorical bust of the French First Republic by Armand Caqué.

The reverse side of the medal is engraved with a short historical timeline of the rise and fall of the French First Republic.
