MDCCCXXIII (Translation: In honour of that remarkable man, William Wellesley Pole, Baron Maryborough, for nine years Master of the Mint, who did not only restore the British coinage [worn out by long use] to its original splendour, but made it new and more beautiful. He organised the despatch of coins into all parts of the country with such skill that almost simultaneously everywhere the old money passed into disuse, and the new swiftly brought into public use. The moneyers caused this medal, a memorial of their regard and friendship, to be struck at the Royal Mint in London, 1823) |
