2. Medal of the 10th August—On the 7th August, 1817, the Swiss government resolved to confer a medal of cast iron on all the survivors of the Swiss Guard, who had defended the Tuileries on the 10th August, 1792. The obverse represents the Confederacy Cross, and the words: 'Treue und Ehre,' and the reverse contains the inscription: 'August, MDCCXCII.' It is worn upon the left breast by a red and white ribbon (No. 2). A list of those who had died previously, was deposited in the Archives of the Confederation.
