Popular colonial America type.Sometimes referred to as 'World War Zero,' given its scale overall number of belligerent powers, the Seven Years' War began primarily with Austria's desire to recover Silesia from the Kingdom of Prussia. Since Great Britain had been aiming to increase her colonial possessions in the new world at the expense of France, the strife in the American theater began to merge with that in Europe, resulting in a legitimate global conflict, with every major European power taking the side of either Great Britain/Prussia or France/Austria. In addition to North America and Europe, skirmishes also played out in Central America, the western coast of Africa, India, and the Philippines. Ultimately, a peace was achieved through the Treaty of Paris, formally ending all conflicts save for the Silesian question; the Treaty of Hubertusburg, signed five days later, ended the issue between Prussia and Austria, formally ending the war.

In 1816 a squadron under Admiral Sir Edward Pellew was sent to Algiers where they arrived on 27 August, in company with a small Dutch squadron. They sought the release of the British Consul, who had been detained, and over 1000 Christian slaves, many being seamen taken by the Algerines. When they received no reply the fleet bombarded Algiers. Pellew was subsequently created Viscount Exmouth.

I don't purchase many medals. It's not that I don't like them, I just prefer coins that were used in commerce. When I saw this historic medal I just couldn't say no. It was made for the ANS to coincide with the 1909 Hudson Fulton Celebration. These were made in multiple sizes. In addition to silver they were also made out of brass, aluminum and white metal. This particular piece is 102mm in diameter and is 11.7 ounces of Sterling Silver. This is the largest size made and is pretty scarce.
The medals I have seen all have the same design regardless of size. They also made a number of different size pin backs. In addition there was numerous advertising pieces made including the pictured post card.
A little history from Wikipedia:
The Hudson-Fulton Celebration from September 25 to October 9, 1909 in New York and New Jersey was an elaborate commemoration of the 300th anniversary of Henry Hudson's discovery of the Hudson River and the 100th anniversary of Robert Fulton's first successful commercial application of the paddle steamer. The maritime achievements of Hudson and Fulton foreshadowed the importance of the river to New York's progress and identity. Organizers used the event not only to display the success of the two men, but also the status of New York City as a world city and the achievements of its citizens.

2015 Great Britain 8 oz Silver Battle of Waterloo Medal
With a mintage of only 1,815 coins and a truly fascinating backstory, this unique medal is a must for collectors and historians alike. The large 8 oz size allows the exquisite design to be shown in superb detail.
Contains 8.038 oz. of .999 fine Silver.
80mm Diameter
Exact recreation of the Waterloo Medal designed by Benedetto Pistrucci that took 30 years to complete.
Obverse: The heads of the four allied nations are featured at the center: Prince Regent George IV, Francis II of Austria, Alexander I of Russia and Frederick William II of Prussia. Surrounding these busts is an allegorical representation of the Treaty of Peace that emerged from the battle (the Latin inscription ‘Federe Junctis’ alluding to the treaty itself).
Reverse: Represents the mythical ‘Battle of the Giants’, where the giants are said to have unsuccessfully challenged the Olympian Gods. In this composition, Pistrucci depicted 19 figures struck down by the thunderbolts of Jupiter – 19 for each year of the Napoleonic Wars.
Guaranteed by the Royal Mint.
Struck to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo, this 2015 Pistrucci Waterloo Silver Medal is struck by Britain's Royal Mint in Eight Ounces of 99.9% Silver. Each medal has been approved by The Royal Mint and certified by NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Corporation) to be One of First 500 Struck and comes in a wooden presentation case, with a Royal Mint numbered certificate of authenticity and a Waterloo Medal storybook.
Sir William Wellesley Pole, the first Duke of Wellington's brother, commissioned Pistrucci to create the medal 10 days after the Allied victory. It took Pistrucci over 30 years to complete the molds because of the medals mammoth dimensions and the complexity of the design. The mold was a massive 134mm (5.28 inches) in diameter. By the time the molds were completed, the four Allied sovereigns who were to receive the medal had died, and it was never made.
The Battle of Waterloo brought more than two decades of Napoleonic Wars to an end. This brought a welcome peace over Europe. As a fitting tribute, the Waterloo Campaign Medal was struck for all who fought in the battle. But, it wasn't Pistrucci's medal. A second medal, Pistrucci's medal, was to be designed and presented to the heads of the allied countries and the commanders involved in the battle. Though the original was designed, it went unstruck in Pistrucci's lifetime and for many years beyond...Until now.
For the 200th anniversary of the epic battle, Royal Mint struck Pistrucci's design a reality with the release of this 8oz silver Battle of Waterloo Medal. The reverse represents the mythical 'Battle of the Giants', where the giants are said to have unsuccessfully challenged the Olympian Gods. In this composition, Pistrucci depicted 19 figures struck down by the thunderbolts of Jupiter – 19 for each year of the Napoleonic Wars. At the center of the reverse is a pair of powerful steeds, ridden by characters bearing the features of Wellington and Blücher, both guided by the winged figure of Victory, who was also depicted upon Wyon's Campaign Medal that was awarded to those involved in the Battle of Waterloo.
Inspired by Greek mythology, the obverse shows the heads of the four allied nations feature at the center of the obverse: Prince Regent George IV, Francis II of Austria, Alexander I of Russia and Frederick William II of Prussia. Surrounding these busts is an allegorical representation of the Treaty of Peace that emerged from the battle (the Latin inscription 'Federe Junctis' alluding to the treaty itself). The symbolic composition includes, among other characters, Apollo restoring the day and Themis, Goddess of Justice, who is placed next to the sovereigns as a symbol of the importance of order.

Anne (1665-1727) Queen of Great Britain and Ireland (1702-1714), was the second daughter of James, Duke of York (King James II, 1685-1688), and Anne Hyde. Although her father was a Roman Catholic, she was reared a Protestant at the insistence of her uncle, King Charles II. In 1683 Anne was married to Prince George of Denmark. Succeeding William III, Anne was the last Stuart sovereign and, after the Act of Union (1707), the first monarch of the United Kingdom of England and Scotland. As the last Stuart monarch, she wished to rule independently, but her intellectual limitations and chronic ill health caused her to rely heavily on her ministers, who directed England’s efforts against France and Spain in the War of the Spanish Succession (1701-1714). This war dominated her reign and is often called Queen Anne’s War. Anne was the last English monarch to exercise the royal veto over legislation, but the rise of parliamentary government was inexorable. The Jacobite cause was crushed when Anne was succeeded by George I. Her reign is notable for the vibrancy that party conflicts between Whigs and Tories instilled in contemporary arts and culture (from O’Brien and Thompson)
