This conflict, the War of the Quadruple Alliance, even reached the Americas where a French capturing of the Spanish settlement of Pensacola in May 1719 pre-empted a later Spanish attack on South Carolina.

The Peace of Hubertsburg (Hubertsburg) was a treaty which ended the Seven Years' War (1756-1763) between Prussia and Austria. In this war, which was a continuation of the War of Austrian Succession, France was allied with Austria, and Prussia with Great Britain. The goal of Empress Maria Theresa of Austria was to recover Silesia, which Prussia had captured from Austria during the war. However, the Peace of Hubertsburg allowed Prussia to retain Silesia, but in return it agreed to support the succession of Joseph II to the Imperial throne. The Peace of Hubertsburg, which was signed on the 15th of February 1763, as is indicated on this medal, left Germany divided between Austria and Prussia. The hostility between these two great German states powerfully influenced the whole future political development of Germany.

Medal, 1781, WM, CAPTURE OF ST. EUSTATIUS, Great Britain/U.S. Revolutionary War, BHM-231 White Metal. NGC MS63, Cert# 3504352-005. Obv. Uniformed bust of G. B. (George Brydges) RODNEY, right, wearing tricorne hat; Rv. Nine Line Inscription, The / Glorious Memo. / of the 3r of Feb.1781 / When He Severely / Punished the Dutch / Upwards of 3 Millions / Of Value With 300 / Sail of Ships, Star, design below. The Capture of St. Eustatius took place in February 1781 during the American War of Independence when British army and naval forces under General John Vaughan and Admiral George Rodney seized the Dutch-owned Caribbean island of St. Eustatius. The capture was controversial in Britain, as it was alleged that Vaughan and Rodney had used the opportunity to enrich themselves and had neglected more important military duties. The island was subsequently taken by Dutch-allied French forces in late 1781, ending the British occupation. St. Eustatius was the center of Dutch trade and used both for the shipment of arms to the American colonists and for the victualing of French ships. In the autumn of 1780, when the Dutch joined the coalition against Great Britain, Admiral Rodney was ordered to seize the island. He appeared there with twelve ships on 3 February 1781 and, after a fierce engagement, succeeded in capturing it. A large quantity of munitions and merchandise consigned to General George Washington for the American cause was taken along with some 150 merchant ships, a sum totaling around £3 million. On account of this seizing, Rodney and his colleague, General Vaughan, were vilified by the Dutch, who even compared them to a contemporary Nero and Caligula.

Droz, Laureate Bust right; Rv. Snake Entwined around Tripod/Blazing Altar, Olive Branch and Globe below, Size: 35mm, Weight: 20.66g. Attractive High Relief and Almost Certainly a Proof Issue. History: By November 1788 most of his subjects believed their king, George III (reigned 1760-1820), to have gone mad. George suffered from prolonged bouts of delirium. Queen Charlotte was at first forced to seek refuge from her husband in a distant part of Windsor Castle before he was removed to Kew. His anger at this incarceration made his condition untreatable by his doctors and, in December, the Revd Francis Willis, who ran an insane asylum in Lincolnshire, was called in. From January 1789 the King's health gradually improved and Willis was credited with the cure. His illness has subsequently been diagnosed as porphyria. In 1789. On 23 April, a service was held at Saint Paul's Cathedral in London to give thanks for his recovery as part of a day of celebration. It was attended, amid cheering crowds, by the King, the Queen and royal family, by both Houses of Parliament and the Corporation of London. The Society of Patrons decided to strike a variety of Medals to commemorate both the renewed good health of the monarch and their part in its celebration.

Bronze Medal Designed by Conrad Heinrich Kuchler, 48mm. Obv: Bust of Marie Antoinette MARIA ANTON. AUSTR. FR. ET NAV. REGINA, below: NAT. 2 NOV. 1755. NUP. 16 MAY. 1770. COR. 11 JUN. 1775; Rv. Scene of Marie Antoinette being carted to guillotine. She is seated in a common tumbril, hands tied behind her back. National guard are at rear while a child, hat in hand, dances in front of the cart. The Place Louis XVI, now the Place de la Revolution, is packed with people and the guillotine stands ready. The legend above is taken from Lucan ALTERA VENIT VICTIMA. (Abbreviated from ‘En altera venit Victima nobilior': (Another Nobler Victim Comes; or The Next One Becomes a Victim). Exergue: XVI. OCT. MDCCXCIII. Ref: Jones (French Revolution), Figs. 5 & 18. History: Marie Antoinette (1755-1793), an Austrian princess, was never popular with the French public. (She was once to have exclaimed 'If I was not Queen, one would say that I had an insolent air'). She was often accused of putting Austrian interests ahead of those of her husband's kingdom. Her unpopularity was increased by her extravagant spending, which was often unfairly connected with the grave financial difficulties that beset France in the 1780s. This uncertain position put her in danger in the revolutionary period. This was not helped by her uncompromising stance to even the more moderate revolutionaries and her attempts at collusion with other European powers to try to suppress the insurgents. After the royal family failed to escape in 1791, and monarchy was abolished in 1792, Louis XVI was tried for treason and executed in January 1793. The former queen was tried by the National Assembly and executed on 16 October 1793. Manufacture of Medal:
Heinrich Küchler, in partnership with the famous entrepreneur Matthew Boulton, produced this medal as a commercial speculation. Küchler came to work in London in March 1793, producing medals on the fate of Louis XVI, and expanded the cycle of subjects as they occurred. The British public, fascinated by the events in France, eagerly consumed revolutionary memorabilia. The medal was begun in October 1793, presumably days after the event, and issued in March 1794. Ex: Heritage Auction, April 18, 2013, Chicago International Coin Show, Lot# 26723.

Obverse: View of St. Matthew's Church: “PAYABLE BY FLETCHER & SHARRATT”. Reverse: Legend on five lines within oak wreath: “WALSALL TOKEN ONE PENNY 1811”. Diagonally milled edge (/////). These were probably issued by Samuel Fletcher and Samuel Sharratt who were saddlers and iron-mongers with a business in Walsall. Difficult to find this nice. History of GB Tokens during this period: Between 1807 and 1821, no regal copper coins were struck resulting in a shortage of small change. This caused major problems, particularly in the growing industrial cities of the Midlands and north of England. For a period of 4 years, between 1811 and 1815, numerous factories, tradespeople and even workhouses issued tokens. The images depicted are generally of an industrial nature, showing factories and machinery, thus giving us a visual picture of the growing expansion of the machine age. They are particularly difficult to find in high grade.
