The Second Treaty of Vienna, signed on March 16, 1731, was a diplomatic agreement between Austria (the Habsburg Monarchy) and Great Britain. It marked a significant shift in European alliances during the early 18th century and was part of the broader geopolitical manoeuvring following the War of the Spanish Succession (1701 - 1714). Among other things, Great Britain formally recognized the Pragmatic Sanction, ensuring Austrian succession and supporting Charles VI's efforts to secure his daughter's inheritance. It helped stabilize the situation in Europe temporarily, though tensions would soon resurface, leading to the War of the Polish Succession (1733 - 1738) and later the War of the Austrian Succession (1740 - 1748).

Neptune here represents George II, a maritime monarch, who by his interference and mediation calmed the fury of the Emperor and of the King of Spain by the Treaty of Vienna.

Jernegan's Lottery of 1736 was a notable event in 18th-century Britain, associated with a unique silver medal commemorating the lottery and its patrons. The lottery was organized by Henry Jernegan, a prominent London goldsmith and banker, to fund the creation of a silver cistern (a large ornamental vessel). Lottery tickets were sold to the public, and purchasers received a silver medal as a commemorative token.

The lottery and its medal reflected the growing popularity of lotteries in 18th-century Britain as a means of raising funds for public and private projects. The design of the medal also subtly referenced Britain's colonial interests, particularly in the Americas, as seen in the depiction of palm trees, which were symbolic of the plantations in the colonies.

The Peace of Utrecht, concluded in 1713, was a series of treaties that ended the War of the Spanish Succession (1701 - 1714), one of the most significant conflicts in early 18th-century Europe. The peace negotiations involved multiple European powers and reshaped the political and territorial landscape of the continent. The treaties are named after the Dutch city of Utrecht, where many of the negotiations took place. Great Britain gained significant territories, including Gibraltar and Minorca from Spain, securing strategic naval bases in the Mediterranean. Furthermore, France ceded Newfoundland, Acadia (modern-day Nova Scotia), and Hudson Bay to Britain, strengthening British colonial power in North America.

The Protestant succession in Britain was secured, with the recognition of Queen Anne and the future Hanoverian succession (George I). Also, Louis XIV recognized the Hanoverian succession in Britain, abandoning support for the Jacobite claim of James Francis Edward Stuart. Britain secured the Asiento de Negros, a monopoly on the supply of African slaves to Spanish colonies, which became a lucrative source of income. The treaties marked the beginning of Britain's rise as a global superpower, with significant territorial gains and commercial advantages.
