This 1814 medal, "William Pitt," by Thomas Wyon the Younger, depicts the British statesman in profile. Wyon, known for his detailed medallic portraits, captures Pitt's likeness with a refined, almost classical style. The inscription around the edge reads "Rt. Honble. William Pitt, Liverpool Pitt Club, 1814." This work, housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, serves as a testament to the prominent figure of William Pitt and the lasting influence of his political career.
