ENGLAND. 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.

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.

GB 1736 Jernigan's Prize Lottery silver Medal.  Queen Caroline, wife of George II. MI 517/72. Betts 169. 20.5 grams, 38mm. Minerva standing amongst arms & emblems of art & science/Caroline watering a grove of young palm trees.  Lovely grade, beautifully patinated, nearly as struck. 

Henry Jernegan, born in Norfolk, banker and goldsmith of Russell Street, Covent Garden, organized a lottery for a large silver wine-cistern in 1737. The price of each ticket was six shillings and the 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.

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".  (* the medal was actually struck) .

GB 1897 Nelson Foudroyant Medal. 38mm. Copper. Launched at Plymouth in April 1798, wrecked at Blackpool June 16^th 1897. Medal struck from copper from the ship. Viscount Nelson born 29^th September 1758 Died 21^st 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.
