Pingo’s medal marking the birth of George III and Queen Charlotte’s first child (the future George IV) was designed by the architect James ‘Athenian’ Stuart, who had earlier provided designs for the medals ordered by the Society for the Promotion of Arts and Manufactures to celebrate the victories of the Seven Years' War. The parents are shown face to face on the obverse. On the reverse, a seated Britannia receives the infant prince from Mercury in the guise of Commerce.
