This small, silver medal, created by an anonymous artist in 1812, commemorates Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Wellington's, victory over Napoleon's forces in the Peninsular War. The medal depicts a profile portrait of Wellington on one side and a laurel wreath encircling the inscription "Portugal Delivered Spain Relieved MDCCCXII" on the other. This small but powerful object was likely produced as a commemorative piece to honor the Duke of Wellington's successful campaign.
