He was the third British monarch of the House of Hanover , and the first to be born in Britain and speak English as his first language . During his reign the Seven Years ' War against France was concluded , in which Britain gained New France ( now Canada ) but left Britain isolated in Europe and in serious financial difficulties .

These colonies would eventually become the United States . George III was also the monarch when , in 1800 , the Act of Union joined together the realms of Great Britain and Ireland to form the United Kingdom . This medal celebrates the fiftieth year of the reign of George III . It was produced at the request of Lord Radnor to celebrate the Jubilee in Salisbury . This piece , one of 500 struck in copper bronzed , is the only Küchler medal that cannot have been restruck since the dies were canceled on completion of the order ( BHM ) .
