In June 1848, the Archbishop of Paris climbed a barricade waving a green branch, begging for peace - and was shot dead within minutes. This small brass medallion, struck by an anonymous Parisian medal-maker shortly after, captures how quickly that death became public symbol. One side shows the Republic standing with a Phrygian pike and laurel crown; the other bears Affre's portrait in profile. Its inscription dedicates it to all who died for order and liberty, reflecting how one man's sacrifice was claimed by every side at once.
