Comment
Brown: The medal described here is by a foreign artist, Abraham Abramson, the son of Jacob Abraham; he spent his life working in Germany and his medal of Nelson was probably struck there. The portrait of Nelson is somewhat unusual and the medal is included here for the sake of completeness.
