The current lot is believed to be commemorating the battle of Austerlitz in 1805.
In what is widely regarded as Napoleon's greatest victory, the Grande Armée of France defeated the much larger Russian and Austrian armies led by Tsar Alexander I and Holy Roman Emperor Francis II. The three emperors are all depicted on the dial.
