Comment
Brown: The obverse design of this medal was copied from a bust in the possession of the Hon. Henneage Legge of Aston Hall, Birmingham. The medal was struck by Edward Thomason in 1814. He sent examples in silver, silver gilt and bronze to the Marquis of Hertford, Lord Chamberlain to the Prince Regent, asking him to use his influence to present specimens to the Prince Regent, one to Princess Charlotte and retain one himself. It would appear that the bronze specimen went to Princess Charlotte.
