A medalet struck at the beginning of the reign. The reverse
is copied from the medal of Anne commemorating the Peace
of Utrecht (See No. 257, p. 400). Being united with the head
of George, it may be intended to refer to the acknowledgment
by Louis XIV. of the Hanoverian succession, and to his relinquishment
of the cause of the Stuarts.

the reign of George I. The above piece must have been issued
in the early part of the reign, as it bears a much younger head
of the King than the following one.
