Description

Foreign Orders & Decorations - Great Britain : Gift decoration of the Prince Regent (King George IV) of Great Britain. Oval small medal in plastic goldsmith work surmounted by the royal crown. On the front in fine enamel work on granulated background the armored arm with a sword (symbol of war) rising from a thundercloud with lightning and banner with the motto: DIEU ET MON DROIT" (motto of the English king). The medallion surrounded by a separately applied plastic laurel wreath in green enamel. The reverse with a hand rising from clouds with an olive branch (symbol of peace and bandeau: "BEATI PACFICI" (Blessed be the peacemaker). The medallion surrounded by a plastic green enameled laurel wreath. Significant insignia, the oval shape of which is reminiscent of the decorations of the Order Officers of the British Orders but also of the Order Regalia of the Garter, Thistle, Patrick and Bath Orders. The impressive jeweler's quality of this royal gift suggests that it may have been a decoration for a senior diplomat, perhaps in connection with the peace negotiations of the Congress of Vienna in 1815.
