A further Peace Treaty was signed with France on 20th November 1815, after Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo. By this treaty France was confined to her old frontiers held in 1790 and deprived of the additions granted to her in 1814. A levy of 700,000,000 francs was imposed upon France as a contribution towards the allied costs of the war; the amount was to be paid within five years.

One of Mudie's National Medals (see No. 1057) issued in 1820. Examples of this medal are believed to have been struck in gold but no specimen has been met with. See also note to No. 802.
