This silver medal, created by Franz Stuckhart in 1815, commemorates the victories of the allied armies at the Battles of Quatre Bras and Waterloo. The obverse features a profile portrait of Duke of Wellington and Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher, the two military leaders who orchestrated the victory against Napoleon. The reverse features an allegorical depiction of a winged figure, symbolizing victory, subduing two lions, which represent Napoleon's defeated forces. The inscription on the medal reads "In memory of the allied armies for the victory over the Napoleonic forces for the good of Europe on the decisive days of the 16th, 17th and 18th of June, 1815." The medal, though small in size, is a powerful testament to the historical significance of these battles.
