Very nice 3 Mark, Kitty. The reverse looks almost like a medal design, not a coin design.  ;D

Ah yes, this was a question on a quiz program the other day over here in the Uk. I think the battle was named inventively, 'the battle of the nations' as 'Poley came up against 6 different nations as he was finally defeated and 'the Great Thief of Europe' was sent back to Paris before his banishment to the Isle of Elba.
Wikipedia also names it 'the battle of Leipzig'.

Almost looks as if they stole the design off the Mexican coins.
