This medal was executed at Nuremberg, and is one of the
series issued by Kleinert. (See No. 50, Vol. I. p. 675.) The
victories alluded to are those of Schellenberg and Blenheim, by
which Germany was preserved from the French; and the capture
of Gibraltar and the fight off Malaga, by which the British
empire of the sea was confirmed. By such reverses it was
hoped that the arrogance and encroachments of France would
be checked.
