This bronze medal represents Major-General Lord Hutchinson' in three-quarters bust. On the reverse side General Hutchinson and the Bey of Egypt are shown concluding a treaty while the legend alongside reads 'Egypt delivered' and the inscription in the exergue records the date 'Sept. II. MDCCCI (1801).'
This medal is the ninth in James Mudie's series of forty 'National Medals' struck in 1820 to commemorate British victories in George III's reign. They commemorate the events of the Napoleonic period, from a British perspective.
The medals were sold individually or in sets contained within a leather bound case in the form of a book.
