MATTHEW BOULTON'S MEDAL FOR TRAFALGAR 1805, bronze-gilt, contained in its original bronzed copper case, small edge bruise, otherwise virtually as struck and extremely attractive

Kiichler, the medal was restruck in various metals including bronze and bronze-gilt.For further details see 'Matthew Boulton and Conrad Heinrich Kiichler' by GrahamPollard, Numismatic Chronicle, 1970 pp.314-16.
