France CHARLES IX bronze medal 1572 St. Bartholomew’s Day Massacre, 36mm.   Restrike from 19th century.

This was probably made c. 1820-1840 as it has no edge markings.

The event referred to was in August of 1572, with several targeted assassinations and much violence meted out to French Huguenots, during the Wars of Religion between Catholics and Protestants.
