France 1889 Eiffel Tower, Bastille Commemorative Medallion
This antique souvenir medallion commemorates twin events: the opening of the Eiffel Tower and the 100th anniversary of the Storming of the Bastille, which kicked off the French Revolution in 1789. It's likely that the medallion originated at the 1889 Exposition Universelle, or Paris World Fair, which celebrated the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution and for which the Eiffel Tower was constructed. A small loop at the top of the medallion would have attached to a chain or a string.
