The type of the reverse of this medal is the same as the
preceding: it is uncertain which artist originated the design ;
probably it was Smeltzing, whose works were so often copied,
whilst he appears never to have taken the designs of other artists
for his medals.

Rev. The Genius of Nassau, leaning upon her shield, and

The seated female figure symbolizes William, who, having
subdued his enemies by force of arms, now tries the arts of
peace, extending the olive branch to Ireland, and sounding the
soothing notes of amnesty and reconciliation. The harp is
probably an allusion to the arms of Ireland.
