The Treaty of Limerick, signed on 3 October 1691, ended the 1689 to 1691 Williamite War in Ireland, a conflict related to the 1688 to 1697 Nine Years' War. It consisted of two separate agreements, one with military terms of surrender, signed by commanders of a French expeditionary force and Irish Jacobites loyal to the exiled James II. Baron de Ginkell, leader of government forces in Ireland, signed on behalf of William III and his wife Mary II. It allowed Jacobite units to be transported to France, the diaspora known as the Flight of the Wild Geese.

This medal compliments William as the Restorer of Ireland. This he accomplished by the capture of the six strongholds mentioned on the shields, and of the cities of Drogheda and Dublin, which fell into his hands in consequence of the only two great battles fought in the open field, Boyne and Aghrim.
