Die Miniatur-Auszeichnungen weisen auf einen Schweizer Bürger hin, der zunächst in militärischen Diensten Napoleons I. (1769-1821, reg. von 1804 bis 1814 und 1815) gestanden hatte, wohl bereits auch schon als Offizier. Nach der Ersten Restauration im April 1814 wurde er von der königlichen Armee unter Ludwig XVIII., König von Frankreich und Navarra (1755-1824, reg. von 1814 bis 1815 und von 1815 bis 1824), übernommen. Während der Hundert Tage nach der Rückkehr Napoleons (März bis Juli 1815) Ludwig XVIII. treu geblieben, erhielt er sowohl die französische Dekoration der Lilie wie auch die Medaille TREUE UND EHRE - MDCCCXV der Schweizer Konföderation. Im Zusammenhang mit dem Vormarsch der russischen Truppen auf Paris vor der Schlacht von Waterloo am 18. Juni 1815, bzw. mit dem Einzug in die Stadt, dürfte er von Kaiser Alexander I. (1777-1825, reg. seit 1801) den russischen St. Georgs-Säbel Für Tapferkeit verliehen bekommen haben. Nach der Zweiten Restauration im Juli 1815 wohl weiterhin in französischen Diensten, wurde ihm mutmaßlich, wohl im Rang aufgestiegen, das Ritterkreuz des Ordens vom hl. Ludwig und die Offiziersdekoration des Königlichen Ordens der Ehrenlegion verliehen. Einige Jahre nach dem Regierungsantritt Kaiser Napoleons III. (1808-1873, reg. von 1852 bis 1870) erhielt er noch die 1857 gestiftete St. Helena-Medaille, die für alle bestimmt war, die von 1792 bis 1815 unter Napoleon in französischen Diensten gestanden hatten.
Besonders die Miniatur der Verdienstmedaille TREUE UND EHRE - MDCCCXV (auch Medaille von Yverdon genannt) ist von außerordentlicher und möglicherweise einzigartiger Gestaltung, ist uns doch keine einzige weitere emaillierte Ausführung bekannt. Die Medaille wurde von der Schweizerischen Tagsatzung am 20. April 1815 gestiftet zu Ehren der in königlichem französischem Sold stehenden Schweizer vier Regimenter, die während der Hundert Tage der Rückkehr Napoleons 1815 Ludwig XVIII. treu geblieben waren und Frankreich verlassen hatten. Es wurden insgesamt nur 2.019 Medaillen verliehen. (Vgl. Grunau, Gustav: Treue und Ehre - Zwei schweizerische militärische Verdienst-Medaillen. In: Revue Suisse de Numismatique, Band 15 (1909), Heft 2.)

The miniatures are pointing to a Swiss citizen, who at first had been in the military service of Napoleon I (1769-1821, reigned from 1804 until 1814 and in 1815), probably already as a commissioned officer. After the First Restoration in July 1814 he was taken over by the Royal Army of Louis XVIII, King of France and of Navarra (1755-1824, reigned from 1814 until 1815 and since 1815). During the Hundred Days after Napoleon's return, he remained loyal to the king and therefore received the French Decoration of the Fleur-de-lis and the Medal TREUE UND EHRE - MDCCCXV of the Swiss Confederation. Probably in connection with the advance of the Russian troops to Paris before the battle of Waterloo on June 18, 1815, respectively with the entry into the city, he might have been awarded by Emperor Alexander I (1777-1825, reigned since 1801) the Sabre of Saint George For Bravery. After the Second Restoration in July 1815 furthermore in French service, probably in higher ranks, he presumably received the knight's cross of the Order of Saint Louis and the Officer's decoration of the Royal Order of the Legion of Honour. Some years after the accession to the throne of Napoleon III (1808-1872, reigned from 1852 until 1870), he received the Saint Helena-Medal, created in 1857 for all persons who had served from 1792 until 1815 in the armies of Napoleon I.
