This silver medal, created by Peter Baldenach in 1799, commemorates the Battle of Stockach. The obverse features a bust of Archduke Charles of Austria, wearing a helmet, in profile. The reverse depicts an allegorical scene with the goddess of victory holding a palm branch, a shield, and a sword, signifying the victory of the Austrian forces. The medal is a fine example of the medallic art of the late 18th century, using neoclassical style and symbolism to celebrate a significant military event.
