It had been under French rule for so long primarily because it was surrounded by France almost entirely and only connected to Switzerland by a very narrow neck of land. To this day, French is the predominant language spoken in the Geneva Canton.</font></b></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><b><font face="Comic Sans MS">These medals were issued to commemorate that reunion. One is copper and one is what I believe to be brass. (For some reason, the brass medal won&#039;t load. I&#039;ll have to look into it.)</font></b></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><b><font face="Comic Sans MS">Chris</font></b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
