This silver medal, created in 1746 by Richard Yeo, depicts the Duke of Cumberland as Hercules, symbolizing the defeat of the Jacobite Rebellion in 1745. In the scene, Hercules, representing the Duke, is shown overcoming Discord, symbolized by the serpent-like creature, while Britannia, a female figure, looks on. The inscription on the medal, "Perdvellis Ex Angrvgat Ad Cullod De Bellat 16 Apr 1746", translates to "The rebels from England conquered at Culloden 16 April 1746", marking the significant battle that ended the rebellion. This medal is a testament to the Duke's victory and the historical significance of the event.
