L'as de Nimes

The coat of arms for the city of Nimes appears on a medal that was awarded to French citizens for bravery(?), military service(?) throughout the 18th and perhaps even the 17th centuries. An habitant of New France was likely awarded this medal at some time and earned the nickname "La Palme" because of the palm tree on one side of the medal (also seen in the coat of arms for the city of Nimes). The nickname of the medal was therefore likely "La Palme" and receipients of the medal gave themselves the nickname of La Palme.
