who did not complete his work when the true circumstances of

Admiral Haddock was stationed with a fleet in the Mediterranean
to prevent the junction of the French and Spanish
fleets, in which object he was twice unsuccessful. It was very
extensively believed that his instructions restricted him from
activity, and these satirical medals were one of the modes of
expressing the public dissatisfaction.
