- GREAT BRITAIN. Surrender of Napoleon Bronze Medal, "1815" (1820). PCGS SPECIMEN-64 Gold Shield. BHM-884; Eimer-1078. Mudie's National Medals Series. By Webb & Brenet. Obverse: Uniformed bust right; Reverse: The British man-of-war HMS Bellerophon under sail left upon the seas, possessing a satirically large eagle on the staff of the deck; another ship in background. Incredibly alluring red-brown surfaces, with a slight matte nature to the obverse devices. Following Waterloo, Napoleon had plans to sail to America with his elder brother Joseph, but was blocked in the English Channel by the British ship Bellerophon. After initially trying to wait them out, he ultimately surrounded after a few days and was taken prisoner aboard the ship. Estimate: $150 - $250. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
