This silver medal depicts the sinking of the British warship "Royal George" in 1782, while docked at Spithead, England. The medal, dated 1783, shows the ship capsizing with men in the water on one side. The other side of the medal commemorates the Siege of Gibraltar, a British stronghold that repelled a Spanish and French siege from 1779 to 1783. The artist remains anonymous, but the medal represents a tragic event in British naval history and a significant victory in the American Revolutionary War.
