This small, commemorative medal was created by English artist Edward Pinchbeck in 1741, and celebrates the British naval victory over the Spanish at the Battle of Cartagena de Indias. The front of the medal depicts Admiral Vernon, General Wentworth and Commander Lestock, key figures in the battle, while the reverse shows a map of the city of Cartagena. The medal is a fine example of 18th-century commemorative medallic art, and is a valuable historical artifact.
