This medal, commemorating the Peace of Utrecht, was struck by authority and distributed at public expense to members of both the House of Lords and the House of Commons and to other persons. The difficulties of the negotiations for peace having been surmounted, the treaties were signed at Utrecht in 1713. England and France signed the Treaty of Peace and also a Treaty of Commerce. Separate treaties for the States of Holland, the King of Portugal, the King of Prussia and the Duke of Savoy were also signed on the same day. The treaty between England and Spain was postponed for some weeks and the Emperor's Peace with France was not signed until the following year.
