Verslaan van de Spaanse vloot bij kaap Passaro 1718

This silver medal, created by Swedish medalist Bengt Richter in 1718, commemorates the British victory over the Spanish fleet at Cape Passaro. The obverse depicts King George I of Great Britain, while the reverse portrays a scene of naval battle with an inscription celebrating the British victory. The medal, with its detailed imagery and Latin inscription, is a powerful testament to the importance of this historical event in British naval history. The medal's small size, 2.9 cm in diameter, suggests it was likely intended for private collection or as a commemorative gift.
