Turkey having wrested the Morea from the Venetians, the
Emperor Charles VI., as guarantor of the Treaty of Carlowitz,
by which the Morea had been assigned to the Republic of
Venice, interfered, defeated the Turks, and took Belgrade. At
the request of the Turks, George I. was appointed mediator,
and peace was concluded at Passarowitz, 10 July [0. S.], 1718.

This medal was executed about the middle of the last century,
probably by direction of Thomas Hollis, who was a patron of
the artist Pingo. The legend was his favourite motto, which
he inscribed upon several objects of art, plate, &c. The motto
is very applicable to the conduct of Penn, who in 1681, having
obtained from the crown a grant of land in America in lieu
of a debt, founded the State which was named after him,
Pennsylvania. He concluded many treaties with the neighbouring
Indians, which were most strictly observed by both
sides, and which contributed much to the success of the colony.
Penn did not reside for any length of time in America, and
died at Ruscombe, in Berkshire, 30 July, 1718.
