Boulton's Personification of Peace standing on rocks, holding shield showing Nelson, EUROPE'S HOPE AND BRITAIN'S GLORY/British fleet attacking the French fleet, 47mm by C.H. Kuchler, the edge reads: FROM MR ALEXANDER DAVISON ESQ. A TRIBUTE OF REGARD, bronze issue, toned chocolate with rim bruises & holed, good fine, also including 1905 Edward VII Nelson Centenary souvenir medal, containing 'Victory' copper, toned chocolate, very fine. Side note: Nelson's destruction of the French fleet anchored off the north coast of Egypt at Aboukir Bay on 1st August 1798, was an audacious and highly successful Royal Navy operation in an era of great naval actions. The climax of a cat-and-mouse pursuit through the Mediterranean in the summer of 1798, the battle effectively isolated the French forces invading Egypt and cut their supply line; it was celebrated around Europe as a major victory in the war against the ideals of the French Revolution and effectively ended Napoleonic dreams of an oriental empire. Mr. Alexander Davison (1750-1829), apart from being a merchant and factory owner, was involved in naval supply and was Nelson's Prize Agent, involved in assessing and selling off captured naval 'prizes' such as warships or cargoes. Davison's Medal for the Nile was awarded in various qualities of metal to reflect the rank and status of the recipient, a typical class distinction of that era. Medals in bronze were given to the ratings, copper gilt to Petty Officers, silver to officers below the rank of Captain, and gold to Admirals and Captains. Struck by Matthew Boulton's Soho Mint in Birmingham.
