<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 4956962, member: 110350&quot;]I&#039;m glad people enjoyed seeing this medal -- not ancient, but it&#039;s certainly in the then-popular classicizing mode, and harks back to ancient themes. I thought of it immediately when I saw this thread. At one time I had a nice collection of Mudie medals, perhaps 35 of the 42. I sold most of them about 3 or 4 years ago, but this was one of the half-dozen I couldn&#039;t bring myself to part with, along with my one example in silver, which I posted a few months ago in the World Coins forum. It shows Napoleon surrendering to the HMS Bellerophon after Waterloo. See <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/napoleon-surrenders-to-the-british-after-waterloo.357637/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/napoleon-surrenders-to-the-british-after-waterloo.357637/">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/napoleon-surrenders-to-the-british-after-waterloo.357637/</a>&nbsp; If anyone wants to see what the rest of the series looks like, there are photos of all of them at <a href="http://www.historicalmedals.com/mudie.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.historicalmedals.com/mudie.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.historicalmedals.com/mudie.htm</a> . The chapter on the Flight from Elba medal in Mudie&#039;s own book about the series, published at the same time as the medals (I have an original copy of it, which I kept), can be read at <a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/An_Historical_and_Critical_Account_of_a/2cpcAAAAcAAJ?hl=en&amp;gbpv=1&amp;bsq=%22It%20is%20impossible%20to%20deny%22" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/An_Historical_and_Critical_Account_of_a/2cpcAAAAcAAJ?hl=en&amp;gbpv=1&amp;bsq=%22It%20is%20impossible%20to%20deny%22" rel="nofollow">https://www.google.com/books/edition/An_Historical_and_Critical_Account_of_a/2cpcAAAAcAAJ?hl=en&amp;gbpv=1&amp;bsq=&quot;It is impossible to deny&quot;</a> .[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
