Exact recreation of the Waterloo Medal designed by Benedetto Pistrucci that took 30 years to complete.

Obverse: The heads of the four allied nations are featured at the center: Prince Regent George IV, Francis II of Austria, Alexander I of Russia and Frederick William II of Prussia. Surrounding these busts is an allegorical representation of the Treaty of Peace that emerged from the battle (the Latin inscription "Federe Junctis" alluding to the treaty itself).

Reverse: Represents the mythical "Battle of the Giants," where the giants are said to have unsuccessfully challenged the Olympian gods. In this composition, Pistrucci depicted 19 figures struck down by the thunderbolts of Jupiter – 19 for each year of the Napoleonic Wars.
