| Reverse description | A large inscribed tablet dominates the field, listing the names of the French warships destroyed at the Battle of La Hogue in May 1692, headed VOTA ORBIS. To the left, Victoria stands holding a laurel wreath and a palm branch; to the right, Fama with wings blows a trumpet. A putto with olive branches flies above the tablet. In the foreground, the personification of Time reclines while the figure of History records events on the tablet; sinking ships are visible in the sea background. |
