Owner's Description

Medal, 1746, AR, GEORGE II BATTLE OF CULLODEN, Great Britain, NGC MS63, Cert# 3349830-011. Catalog: MI-613,278. Size: 50,8mm. R. Yeo Fecit. Very rare quality for this popular type featuring the Duke of Cumberland ('Billy the Butcher'). Housed in an oversized NGC holder. George II (Duke of Cumberland). Struck in High Relief with light golden gray toning. One of a series of English medals commemorating the famous battle of April 16, 1746, here depicting "the Duke of Cumberland as Hercules trampling upon Discord and raising Britannia," a theme possibly inspired by Roman coins, states the Medallic Illustrations reference, which also calls it "the finest of the Culloden medals."
