These are badly executed memorials of the battle of Culloden,
and were issued for general distribution. It is not improbable
that, like the Porto Bello and other medals of the same character,
they were made by direction of Mr. Pinchbeck, toyman.

This is the finest of the Culloden medals ; it was executed
by Richard Yeo, afterwards the chief engraver of the Mint.
The type of the reverse was probably suggested by Roman
coins. Specimens in silver were sold at a guinea each, and in
copper at half a guinea. Those in gold were sold for two
guineas more than the value of the metal. (See The London
Gazette, 3 -7 Feb. 1746 [0. S.].)
