This medal commemorates the battle of Prague (a battle in which Prussians beat Austrians in the Seven Years' War) with Frederick the Great on the obverse. Diesinker is Johann Georg Holtzhey (1729-1808) (Dutch medallist and engraver and master of the mints of Guelders and Middelburg). The reverse shows Victoria hovering over a kneeling figure of Austria.

In the Battle of Prague on May 6, 1757 Frederick's 67,000 Prussians forced 60,000 Austrians to retreat, but having lost 14,300 men, decided he was not strong enough to attack Prague.

The King of Prussia, Frederick II (1712-1786) was enormously popular in England as Britain's ally during the Seven Years War.
