This bronze medal by Conrad Heinrich Küchler commemorates the victory of Admiral Lord Nelson at the Battle of the Nile in 1798. The medal depicts a female figure holding a laurel branch and a palm frond, symbolizing victory, standing on a rock with an anchor in the foreground. In the background, a medallion features the profile of Lord Nelson, a British naval commander, with the inscription "Britains Glory." This commemorative medal is a testament to the historical importance of the Battle of the Nile, a significant naval battle that marked a turning point in the Napoleonic Wars.
