A bronze medal commemorating the resistance by the English fleet of Sir William Phipps of Massachusetts (1650 or 1-1694 or 5) during the siege of Québec in 1690 before the men of Count Louis Buade Frontenac (1622-1698).

On the obverse side, the medal bears a bust of King Louis XIV, engraved by Jean Mauger (1648-1722).

On the reverse side, the medal bears the figure of a woman symbolizing the city of Québec with fleet flags and banners bearing the arms of England behind her. Below her sits a beaver representing the residents of Canada. Further, the god of the St. Lawrence River is lying by his mountainside domain (presumably the Laurentians).
