Late Twentieth Century Reproduction by J. Pinches. A reduced-size version of the original medal produced to honor the leaders of the countries involved in the defeat of Napoleon.

Neither side of this ornate design bears any legend or inscription, the sculptor having intended the legend WATERLOO. JUNE 18, 1815 to appear on the edge. Also, the serial # 858 (of 5,000) and makers mark are on the edge at the 12 o'clock position. With case of issue. The obverse displays rich grey toning on matte-like surfaces.
