This medal celebrates Emperor Leopold's victory over the Turks near the monastery of St. Gotthard (Hungarian Szentgotthard). The Rhine League, of which France was a member, had sent 6,000 men, the French troops having been commanded by the Count of Coligny. Splendid period strike of large module by Avry, which differs from the small module of Mauger by the royal bust on the right and the absence of legend on the reverse side.
