Design in a circle. An adaptation of Sayers's 'Coalition Medal struck in Brass', see BMSat 6183. Busts of Thurlow, Wilkes, and the king superimposed, simulating high relief. Thurlow, facing left, wearing his Chancellor's wig, is the uppermost; both his bushy eyebrows are visible, the mace projects from behind him. The king is in profile to the right. Squeezed between Thurlow and the king is the head of Wilkes, elongated and much caricatured, squinting violently. Behind the heads is a background of horizontal lines in an irregular oval; outside this oval and within the circle are emblems of the slavery threatened by this triumvirate: a pair of shackles (left) and a set of stocks fastened by a padlock (right).  3 May 1784
