Description: I am offering for sale a 1798 silver medal issued to commemorate the British victory at the Battle of the Nile by Admiral Horatio Lord Nelson. Alexander Davison was appointed by Nelson as the sole prize agent for the captured ships after the Battle of the Nile. Davison paid to have this metal struck and presented to all participants in the Battle, in gold to Nelson and his Captains, in silver to his Lieutenants and Warrant Officers, in guilt metal to petty officers, and in copper to seamen and Marines. There is a legend on the edge of the medal that states, "A Tribute of Regard From Alexr Davison Esqr. St. James's Square." It is in excellent condition with age appropriate wear and patina. It measures 1 7/8 inch in diameter.
