This stunning bronze medal commemorates the peace of Amiens in 1802, a significant moment in history that brought temporary peace between France and Britain. The front of the medal features the profile bust of King George III of the United Kingdom, a powerful symbol of royalty and leadership during this time.
Crafted by Conrad Heinrich Kuchler, an artist active in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, this medal is a true work of art. The intricate details on the king's face and regal attire showcase Kuchler's skill as a sculptor.
The historical significance of this piece cannot be understated. It serves as a tangible reminder of a pivotal moment in European history when two powerful nations put aside their differences for the greater good. The symbolism behind King George III's profile on this medal speaks volumes about his role in maintaining peace during turbulent times.
