The Waterloo Medallion, a bronze medal created by Benedetto Pistrucci circa 1817-1861, depicts the profile portraits of four prominent figures: The Prince Regent (later George IV) of England, Francis II of Austria, Alexander I of Russia, and Frederick Wilhelm III of Prussia. Surrounding their faces are various allegorical figures symbolizing power, justice, day, night, the Fates, and the Furies. The Waterloo Medallion, an artistic masterpiece of the Neoclassical period, celebrates the Allied victory over Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo.
