1694 G. Brit Medal Death Of Queen Mary E-362 50mm Copper Colorful Unc
1694 G Brit Death of Queen Mary. By J & N Roettier.
Another important, large size piece for the serious collector of British medals. Queen Mary was William III's claim to the thrown, but he was allowed to continue on, after Mary's death in 1694, until his death in 1702, despite an ever prevalent Jacobite threat. This medal was struck in 1695 in the Tower by the Roettier brothers, and was offered in the London Gazzette, alongside medals in a similar format honoring the memory of Charles I, who was beheaded in 1649.
Rich satiny mint bloom with rich turquoise and emerald on the obverse, with magenta, orange, and turquoise on the reverse. There are mild hairlines in the delicately mirrored obverse fields, which account for the grade. Looking for something out of the ordinary?
