1620s James I silver medalet.
From
the school of Simon de Passe, silver medalet showing James I in ruff
with hat/Future Charles I, son of James. MI 380/282. Eimer 175. 27mm,
2.4 grams. Unique engraving style, high grade, EF. This counter is in the style of Simon van der
Passe who was brought up in Utrecht and came to London at the end of the 16th
century. This counter is a little after his period and was made in around 1620
as one of a set of consisting of 36 pieces bearing the figures of the Sovereigns
of England - from Edward the Confessor to Charles I - this one being the second last in
the series and was probably made while James was still king and Charles was a
few years off acquiring the throne .
The counters are all made in a way so that they
appear to be engraved - they were probably cast and then each one was sharpened
up afterwards (as often two similar ones are not the same). They were issued
in a small silver box and there is a complete set in the British Museum. | Sold | |

This is the official medal that was issued for
distribution amongst the officers of state and spectators of the splendid coronation at Westminster.
Charles II died in 1685
after converting to Catholicism on his deathbed. Having no legitimate children,
Charles was succeeded by his brother James, who reigned in England and Ireland
as James II, and in Scotland as James VII. There was little initial opposition
to his succession although some in the English Parliament remained vary wary of the possibility of a Catholic King.
However, there were
widespread reports of public rejoicing at the orderly succession but even
so, James wanted to proceed quickly to the coronation and was crowned at Westminster Abbey on 23 April 1685.

Mary had contracted
smallpox and when it became obvious that it was very
serious William scarcely left her bedside. After her
death the intensity of his sorrow was confirmed by his total
inability to attend to the business of State and his repeated
faintings.
Mary II (30 April 1662 –
28 December 1694) reigned as Queen of England, Scotland, and
Ireland from 1689 until her death. Mary, a Protestant, came to
the thrones following the Glorious Revolution, which resulted in
the deposition of her Roman Catholic father, James II and VII.
Mary reigned jointly with her husband and first cousin, William
III and II, who became the sole ruler of both countries upon her
death in 1694. Popular histories usually refer to the joint
reigns as those of "William and Mary". Mary, the blood
sovereign, wielded less power than William during the parts of
her reign when William remained in England, ceding most of her
authority to her husband, though he heavily relied on her. She
did, however, govern the realms alone when William was engaged
in military campaigns abroad, proving herself to be a powerful,
firm, and effective ruler. She was very active in the Church of
England, which she ruled as its Supreme Governor. Though she
shared the post with her husband, she largely exercised its
power alone.

Medals of the Kings
and Queens of England by Jean Dassier.
These medals were struck
by the Swiss Medalist Jean Dassier and produced in 1731. They
illustrate the Kings and Queens of England, beginning with the
Normans - William the Conqueror 1066-1087 and conclude with
George II. These medals were produced for collectors who wanted
a chronological series of their own monarchs, much the same as
they collected the Roman Emperors on coins, which was a popular
pastime of this period. John Evelyn's "Numismata" from
1694 set out this form of arrangement, which was later expanded
upon by John Pinkerton in his "Essay on Medals"
written in 1784. There was no known likeness for some of these
monarchs, Dassier therefore based their portraits on the
imagined engravings in the "History of England" by
Paul de Rapin-Thoyras.

(1676-1763) medallions of the Kings and Queens of England, in fitted
box. Jean Dassier, a native of Geneva, worked in London and produced the dies
for this series in 1731. This set covers all the reigning monarchs of England
from William I to George II; and as well as including Oliver Cromwell, has in
addition to the George II dedication example, a further George II medallion with
reverse legend "TRIUMPH UBIQUE" and a medallion of his consort Queen Caroline.
35 medallions in total in the mahogany fitted
case. The medallions, which are in fine, original condition, measure
approximately 42mm, (1.65in) in diameter, (though that of Cromwell is slightly
smaller). The set, including box, weighs 2.4 kg; 5.5 lbs. The case measures 13"x
10". The green baize inside the case is intact, no tears , just minor wear
commensurate with age. The case has a small crack top left at the back about 3"
long; and a crack across the bottom at back (as shown). The hinges are intact
and secure. A wonderful set of early, original Dassier medallions.

Henry Jernegan, born in Norfolk, banker

purchaser received one of these medals worth just under three shillings. Queen
Caroline lent her enthusiastic support and a large number of tickets was sold.
The great cistern is now in the Hermitage Museum. The piece also has an American interest
as the reverse supposedly alludes to Queen Caroline 'nurturing' the new colonies
of the Carolinas and therefore this medal is included in Betts. | $350 | |

1739 Admiral Vernon - Portobello taken with six ships.
AE Medallion, 36mm, portrait of Vernon/Ships entering Portobello harbour. Near VF.
In
the 1730's the Spanish ruled the New World from Florida and California south to the southern-most tip of
South
America. The British were limited to the mainland to
north of Florida and were not allowed to trade with the
Spanish colonies and thus tensions grew between Britain and
Spain.
A sea-captain by the name of Jenkin accused the Spanish of illegally boarding
his ship and cutting off his ear when he resisted. In one account he threw the
ear on a table in the presence of Parliament. Thus started the "War of Jenkin's
Ear". The British viewed the Spanish
fortifications in the New World with awe and respect, especially Portobello and
Cartagena. Portobello
(sometimes written as two words - Porto Bello) was a fortified port (in what is now
Panama) where Spanish gold
and silver mined from Peru and elsewhere was
collected and shipped back to Spain.
The British had attempted to take it in 1726 with twenty ships and failed.
Captain Edward Vernon boasted to Parliament that he could take Portobello with
only six ships. He was given a commission as Vice-Admiral of the Blue, placed in
command of a group of ships and given his chance. Sending an seventh "extra"
ship away on another mission, Admiral Vernon successfully captured Portobello
with six ships as he had boasted. The population of Britain
was elated, and these medals were issued to celebrate the occasion | $200 | |

1769 Shakespeare Jubilee Medal in silver.
David Garrick,
Steward, approx 32mm. 16.7 grams. A few minor rim bumps and old scrapes, old
grey tone, VF/gVF. This pass was
issued for the three day Theatrical Festival, held in honour of
Shakespeare, in Stratford-upon-Avon performed on
September 6th., 7th. and 8th. in 1769 . The well
known actor David Garrick was the Steward of the celebrations (referred to
on the pass) and an amphitheatre was erected at Bankcroft that was capable of
holding over a thousand people. The building was decorated with
a statue of Shakespeare which had been presented by Garrick, which afterwards
ended up in Stratford
town hall. The oratorio
of 'Judith' was performed in the Parish
Church and
afterwards there was a grand public banquet in the amphitheatre at which
Garrick delivered odes and orations in praise of Shakespeare. Afterwards
there were fireworks and music and bands and revelers paraded through
the streets of Stratford.
To finish off the evening, in honour of the immortal poet, canons were fired. Garrick
received a specimen of this ticket in Gold and silver and copper examples were
issued to the other differently ranked subscribers. James Boswell,
writing for the 'London Magazine' in the same month, reports that
"We all wore, hung in a blue
ribbon at our breasts a medal of Shakespeare, very well cast * by Mr. Westwood
of Birmingham".

Sandwich. 24mm, scarce, VF. HMS Sandwich was a 90 gun second

at Chatham. Sandwich participated in the Battle of Cape St Vincent in
1780 and the capture of St Eustatius in 1781 where she served as
Admiral Rodney's flagship. In 1781 Rodney sacked and burned St
Eustatius, which had been a constant source of irritation to the
British as it supplied weapons to the 13 rebellious US colonies. This
medal was sold in Britain, where Rodney was regarded as a national hero
by the public, glad that the turncoat Washington had finally had his
supplies & munitions cut off. | $135 | |

1897 Nelson Foudroyant Medal.
38mm. Copper. Launched at Plymouth in April 1798, wrecked at
Blackpool June 16th
1897. Medal struck from copper from the ship. Viscount Nelson
born 29th
September 1758 Died 21st
October 1805. A few reverse scratches in field otherwise near
EF.
HMS
Foudroyant was launched in Plymouth in 1798, as a second rate
line of battle ship with 80 guns (variable throughout her
career). Measurements were 2,062 tons, 184ft x 51ft. Usual
armament included 30x 32pdrs, 32x 24pdrs, 14x 12pdrs and 12
carronades. She was Nelson's flagship from 1799 to 1800, then
being described a 3rd rate battleship and used during the
campaign to recapture Naples. In 1862, she was converted to a
training ship and served the Plymouth gunnery school, HMS
Cambridge. In 1892, she was sold for breaking up to a German
firm for one thousand pounds. Because of her association with
Nelson, there was a public outcry including a Punch cartoon by
Linley Sambourne. She was purchased by George Wheatley Cobb for
twenty thousand pounds (his own expense) with a view for display
at various ports and a sail training ship. She was wrecked at
Blackpool in a gale on 16th June 1897. The salvage terms were
that the company involved received two thousand pounds only if
they re-floated her. If they failed, they could buy the wreck
for ten pounds. The ship was unsalvageable and the company
recovered some of
their expenses by making souvenirs from the timber and copper
and selling them. Hundreds of different varieties were sold,
including medallions, coins, items of furniture and walking
sticks.
