Just got this back from NGC. An extremely lustrous silver medal, 303 years old, graded as a 64 plus. Purchased at auction in England. Certainly is a different allegory on the reverse than the James II medal. Whereas with James the crown is conferred by heaven (signifying the divine right of kings) , here it is given by Britannia, representing the people/nation.

Thanks, ilL Ominatus! Not all that many to go to a set of at least one of each monarch from Charles II up (official coronation medals). Missing a nice Charles II, George III and thats it, unless there is an official Elizabeth II I dont know about.  Previous entries here in this journal show the others, if you haven't seen them.
