On 21st November 1739 Admiral Edward "Old Grog" Vernon (1684-1757) captured the Spanish colonial possession of Porto Bello (now in Panama) using just six ships, against the 700 strong Spanish infantry. Vernon was subsequently granted the Freedom of the City of London and commemorative medals and delftware plates like the present example were produced to celebrate the victory.
