Valentine Munden’s Prize Money Silver Salver, London, 1792
Located in Lymington, Hampshire
This small oval George III silver salver is raised on four scroll feet with a plain field and curvetto within a triple reed border.

The Coutts and Neptune were unsuccessful in capturing a third frigate La Franchaise, but the action stands out as the only occasion during the Napoleonic Wars when a merchant vessel captured a French ship of war...
