Medal commemorating the Peace of Breda, 1667
Medal commemorating the Peace of Breda, 1667. Obverse: Busts of King Charles II, in a long wig and mantle, and Queen Catharine conjoined (right). Legend: 'CAROLVS . ET . CATHARINA . REX . ET . REGINA.' Obverse: Britannia with a spear in her right hand and her left resting on her shield seated at the foot of a rock; a three-masted ship in foreground, others in distance, the sun shining above. Legend: 'FAVENTE DEO.' (God being propitious). Exergue: 'BRITANNIA.' The figure of Britannia here shown is a portrait of Frances Teresa Stuart, afterwards Duchess of Richmond. Somewhat similar to preceding, but the ship is more distant, the number of vessels fewer and Britannia is more simply dressed and her spear less erect.
