Description:
This bronze medal commemorates the victorious British conclusion of the Napoleonic Wars. The verso features a young, spry British soldier representative of the strong British military forces. The soldier is dress in highly decorated military uniform which demonstrates the accomplishments of the British forces. Surrounding the soldier is the inscription “NEMO ME IMPUNE LACESSIT,” which translates to “no one provokes me with impunity.” This Latin phrase developed in Scotland when the Scottish were fighting desperately form their liberation from the British; it later became the motto of Scotland. Ironically enough, the British, along with other regions, adopted this phrase as a reminder of strength and resilience.
