We've offered several of the silver versions of this medal over the past five years, but this is only the third copper example we've seen in the same period and this one is the finest of all, by far! William Pitt, also known as the Elder Pitt and the Great Commoner, was an English politician who was instrumental in building Britain's huge empire in the 1700s by defeating the French in Africa, Canada, India, and on the seas. He opposed attempts to tax America and was regarded as a friendly voice in the British government."
