The barrières were gates into the city where people entering paid taxes on merchandise they were bringing in to sell. In 1826-27 the existing barriers at Porte de Pantin (now a Metro stop) and Porte de Rochechouart were redone with Greek façades. I can't find any contemporary drawing online showing what the real-life barrier at Rochechouart looked like when it was built (and whether it was exactly like the building on the medal or not). Different Wiki sites note that the Rochechouart barrier was torn down in 1860.
Charles X of France
Charles X (9 October 1757 – 6 November 1836) ruled as King of France and of Navarre from 16 September 1824[1] until the July Revolution of 1830, when he abdicated. He was the last king of the senior Bourbon line to reign over France. Charles-Philippe was born in the Palace of Versailles, the fifth son of Louis, Dauphin of France, and his wife, Marie-Josèphe of Saxony. His paternal grandparents were King Louis XV of France and his consort, Queen Maria Leszczyńska. After the fall of the Bastille on 14 July 1789 he was ordered to leave France by his brother Louis XVI, who feared that Charles would soon be the victim of an assassination due to his expressed conservatism. His exile was Italy germany and later Great Britain. Charles was still living in Edinburgh in 1814 when the French monarchy was restored under his other brother, who assumed the name Louis XVIII. Louis died on 16 September 1824, and his brother, aged 67, succeeded him – the only normal succession of French heads of state during the 19th century.
The new king took the regnal name Charles X, thus definitively taking the position that Charles, Cardinal de Bourbon, who was recognized under that name by some elements of French society in the late 16th century, was not legitimate. Charles's coronation on 28 May 1825 deliberately harked back to the Ancien Régime. His dissolution of the Chamber of Deputies, his July Ordinances, which set up rigid control of the press, and his restriction of suffrage resulted in the 1830 July Revolution. The final result was the Charles X's overthrow. Charles abdicated on 30 July 1830 at Rambouillet in favor of his grandson, the duc de Bordeaux, and left for England. However, the liberal, bourgeois-controlled Chamber of Deputies refused to confirm the duc de Bordeaux as Henri V. In a vote largely boycotted by conservative deputies, the body declared the French throne vacant, and elevated Louis-Philippe, duc d'Orléans, to power.
After a sojourn in Britain, Charles later se in Prague in the present-day Czech Republic. He died from cholera on 6 November 1836 in the palace of Count Michael Coronini von Cronberg.
