It is a propaganda medal of the French on the victory of Marshall Randon in Kabylia in 1857.

Being a propaganda medal related to modern Algerian history, shouldn't this listing be moved to
MODERN ASIA & NORTH AFRICA » Algeria » French occupation, 1830-1962 ?
I'd appreciate if moderators could also change the description accordingly.
