EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print captures a silver counter commemorating the demonstration against the Tripoli pirates in 1766. Created by Mario Soranzo, this piece features an intricate design on its obverse side, depicting a tiger and lion sitting opposite each other. The reverse side showcases an inscription within palm and laurel branches.
The symbolism of the tiger and lion represents strength and courage, qualities needed to stand up against piracy. The demonstration was a powerful protest against the actions of the Tripoli pirates, who were notorious for their attacks on ships in the Mediterranean Sea.
This historical artifact serves as a reminder of the bravery of those who fought against injustice and oppression. It is a testament to the resilience of humanity in standing up for what is right.
Displayed at the National Maritime Museum in London, this silver counter is not just a piece of metal but a work of art that tells a story of resistance and solidarity. It encapsulates the spirit of defiance against tyranny and serves as a timeless symbol of hope for future generations.
