The Waterloo Medal, created in 1815 by Thomas Wyon the Younger, depicts a profile portrait of George, Prince Regent, adorned with a laurel wreath. The medal, crafted in bronze, is a striking example of commemorative medallic art. This work is a testament to Wyon’s talent as a medalist, particularly his skill in rendering detailed portraits. The medal, housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, serves as a reminder of the historical significance of the Battle of Waterloo and its impact on European history.
