Pedro Juan Maria de Guerrero, Ferdinand VII (1784-1833), King of Spain 1808, 1814-1833, 1809, bronze, gilt, 1 13/16 in. (4.6 cm.), After turning to Napoleon for support in 1808, following his father's abdication, Ferdinand VII (1784-1833) was stripped by the French Emperor of royal powers and imprisoned. Protesting the perceived injustice of Napoleon's actions, members of the College, Seminario Tridentino, distributed this emblem to recognize the man they saw as their leader. The reverse of Guerrero's medal depicts a rich allegorical scene. The Latin inscription around the top reads 'Fidelity victorious over Deceit.' Guerrero chooses to depict the triumph of Fidelity, implicitly referencing Spain, over Deceit (France). The personification of Fidelity is further amplified by her companion, a faithful dog who leads her to the Temple ofVirtue. Following Napoleon's defeat in 1814, Ferdinand VII regained the monarchy.
