Napoleon famously crowned himself emperor at Notre Dame cathedral in 1804, placing the Roman-style laurel wreath on his own head, even though Pope Pius VII was there presiding over the coronation. This roundel is probably a commemorative from 1804. A wonderful and extremely rare portrait miniature celebrating Napoleon’s famous coronation.
