HENRI V 1844–1883 HENRI OF FRANCE, COUNT OF CHAMBORD. Bearded head of the pretender. Below, VEYRAT. F. Grènetis. In the exergue, ANTWERP A (angel’s head) B 1872. R/. (lily) THE WORD BELONGS TO FRANCE AND THE HOUR BELONGS TO GOD. Within a guilloche border, the shield of France surrounded by the collars of the Order of Saint Michael and the Order of the Holy Spirit, superimposed on a royal mantle, a fleur-de-lis scepter, and a hand of justice. Silver medal by Veyrat, 1872. (58.53 g; Ø 48.72 mm) Smooth edge. Bronze medal by Veyrat, 1872. (38.73 g; Ø 48.68 mm) Smooth edge. Two medals (silver and bronze). Rare. Superb. These two medals commemorate the unrest that took place in Antwerp in February 1872 during the Count of Chambord’s visit to this major commercial metropolis. Viscount Charles Terlinden recounts the events in an article published in 1922 in the *Revue Belge de Philologie et d’Histoire* on pages 45–51, titled “The Count of Chambord in Antwerp (February 1872).” After the fall of the Empire in 1870, the Legitimists attempted to impose the Restoration of the Bourbons to the French throne. This restoration failed because Henri categorically rejected the tricolor flag, preferring instead the white flag bearing the fleur-de-lis.
