- Curator's comments
- Brown 1980 states:
Küchler put the wrong date on the reverse; it should be 1795. See Brown 1 p92.391. The flans vary slightly in thickness and the medal was restruck after the death of Küchler. See also J. G. Pollard, Matthew Boulton and Conrad Heinrich Küchler, 'Numismatic Chronicle', 1970 pp. 279-81, No. 9 and pp. 314-16.
