This silver medal, crafted by Dutch artist Jan Boskam in 1702, commemorates the Battle of Vigo Bay. The obverse features a bust of Queen Anne of Great Britain, while the reverse depicts a dramatic scene of a victorious figure trampling over a defeated foe. The medal highlights the importance of the battle, which saw the destruction of a combined French and Spanish fleet. The inscription on the reverse, "VICTORIA NAVALIS HISPANIARUM", underscores the significance of the Anglo-Dutch victory in the war of the Spanish Succession.
