On the 16th of January, 1804, the city of Paris gave a splendid entertainment at the Hôtel de Ville to the Emperor Napoleon and the Empress Josephine. At this entertainment, Napoleon, in his address to VI. Frochet, the Prefect of the City, assured him, "That he had always entertained, and will preserve, a particular affection for his good city of Paris." This medal was struck to perpetuate the event of this grand entertainment. " This example of the medal was struck at the Paris mint between 1880 and 1901 from the original dies.
