This bronze medal, created by Thomas Wyon the Younger in 1815, depicts George, Prince Regent of Wales, in profile. The medal commemorates the conclusion of peace following the Battle of Waterloo, a significant event in British history. The inscription around the edge identifies the Prince Regent and the United Kingdom. This small-scale work is an example of commemorative medallic art, a genre that flourished in the 19th century. The piece is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
