From Royal Museums Greenwich website:
Alexander Davison was appointed by Nelson sole prize agent for the captured ships after the battle of the Nile. He had this medal struck and presented to all who took part in the action - in gold to Nelson and his captains, in silver to Lieutenants and Warrant Officers, in gilt metal to Petty Officers, and to seamen and marines in copper. This gold example was presented to his second-in-command Sir Edward Berry (1768-1831). Obverse: On a rock near the sea Peace is standing holding in her right an olive branch and supporting with her left hand a medallion of Nelson, an anchor behind her. Legend: 'REAR-ADMIRAL LORD NELSON OF THE NILE'. Inscription: 'EUROPE'S HOPE AND BRITAIN'S GLORY'. Below: 'C.H.K'. (C.H. Küchler). Reverse: View of Aboukir Bay, the English Fleet going into action, the French at anchor. Legend: 'ALMIGHTY GOD HAS BLESSED HIS MAJESTY'S ARMS'. Exergue: 'VICTORY OF THE NILE AUGUST 1 1798'. Above (left) 'M . B . SOHO' (right) 'C . H . KUCHLER . FEC.' Edge: 'FROM ALEXR DAVISON, ESQR. ST. JAMES' SQUARE A TRIBUTE OF REGARD.' ...
The topography on the reverse of the medal shows the Aboukir promontory on the eastern rather than the western side of the bay.
