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.

Commemorates the famous pioneers of the Steam press, makers of the Cartwheel coinage used in colonial Australia & America.
