介绍（中）	盛气凌人、不知疲倦、才华横溢的莫里斯·德·萨克斯（1696-1760）是十八世纪最伟大的将军之一。德国出生的莫里斯是萨克森选帝侯奥古斯都二世的私生子，曾在几位君主手下任职，因其英勇的功绩赢得了指挥官的声誉。他在奥地利王位继承战争（1740-48年）期间为国王路易十五（1710年；1715-74年）取得的胜利确保了法国在欧洲大陆的统治地位。1747年，由于这些成就，国王授予他法国元帅的崇高头衔这枚奖章于1747年铸造，以纪念莫里斯·德·萨克森的成就，并确保他的持久声誉。他穿着盔甲，以直立的军事姿态出现。他沉着的面容和监视的目光捕捉到了他因之闻名的战斗中的冷静。勋章正面（正面）的铭文包括他最近被授予的元帅头衔。奖牌背面的图像和铭文庆祝了法国在奥地利继承战争中击败敌人在17世纪和18世纪，作为礼物的青铜肖像奖章用金色装饰，并用红色涂漆，以增加其美感和珍贵性。达西尔家族的奖章获得者和金匠将这项技术发挥到了极致。
介绍（英）	Dashing, indefatigable, and brilliant Maurice de Saxe (1696-1760) was one of the greatest generals of the eighteenth century. The illegitimate son of Augustus II the Strong, Elector of Saxony, the German born Maurice served under several monarchs, earning his reputation as a commander for his valorous exploits. His victories for King Louis XV (b. 1710; r. 1715-74) during the War of the Austrian Succession (1740-48) secured France’s dominance on the continent. For these achievements in 1747, the king awarded him the august title, Marshal General of France. This medal was struck in 1747 to commemorate Maurice de Saxe’s accomplishment and ensure his enduring fame. He is depicted in armor, bearing himself in erect military posture. His composed features and surveilling gaze capture the coolness in battle for which he was renowned. The inscription on the medal’s front (obverse) includes his recently awarded title of Marshal General. The imagery and inscription on the medal’s reverse celebrate the defeat of France’s enemies in the War of the Austrian Succession. During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries bronze portrait medals intended for special presentation as gifts were embellished with gold and lacquered in red to increase their beauty and preciousness. The Dassier family of medallists and goldsmiths brought this technique to its utmost refinement.
