Elizabeth I (1558-1603)<br />
CM001 Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, Quits Belgium 1587, cast Bronze Medal, unsigned, bust of Leicester threequarters<br />
facing, in richly decorated tunic, collar and feathered hat, ROBE CO LEIC ET IN BELG GVBER 1587, rev sheep<br />
in flat country, to the right a dog leaves them, INVITVS DESERO, NO GRECEM SED INGRATOS, 41mm (MI i 140/100).<br />
49mm (Eimer 54; MI i 140-100). A little pitting, otherwise good very fine, contemporary and rare. £1,400<br />
Despite tacitly supporting the Dutch for some time Elizabeth had been reluctant to make her involvement official for fear of offending the<br />
Spanish monarchy and risking war. Nevertheless after French and Spanish Catholics joined forces, with the aim of defeating French protestants,<br />
Elizabeth accepted the United Provinces’ offer of sovereignty and appointed Leicester as Governor and Captain General of Holland, Zeeland and<br />
the United Provinces. He was ultimately unsuccessful in this role. Although a prominent businessman he misunderstood the delicate balance<br />
of trade between Dutch and Spanish merchants and, in aligning himself with Calvinists, he alienated himself from the provinces’ majority<br />
moderate Protestants and Catholics alike. At complaints from the states, Elizabeth conferred the command of the armies to Maurice, second<br />
son of the late Prince of Orange, during a period while Leicester was absent. On his return he quit the provinces and distributed these medals.<br />

CM003 Oliver Cromwell and Tommaso Aniello, Silver Medal c 1658, cast in two plates, unsigned, perhaps by W<br />
Müller, armoured bust of Cromwell between two Roman soldiers who hold a wreath above his head, in a cartouche<br />

546/203). Extremely fine. £1,150<br />
The dowry that was offered with the hand of Catherine of Braganza was immense. As well as money, international trading rights in the New<br />
World and the strategically positioned port of Tangier, vitally the Portuguese ceded Bombay. It is difficult to overplay the significance of India<br />
to the history of the British Empire and therefore quite prescient that a medal celebrating Britain’s position in the world should have been<br />
struck during this reign.<br />
James II (1685-1688)<br />
CM005 James II, William of Orange Landing at Torbay 1688, Silver Medal by R Arondeaux, Britannia wearing<br />

names of the seven other imprisoned bishops, 50mm (Eimer 288a; MI i 622/37). Good extremely fine with<br />
attractive patina. £350<br />
James II’s Second Declaration of Indulgence was a highly significant element in the delicate balance of religious tolerance in 17th<br />
century Britain. It granted Catholics and non-confirmists freedom to worship at home and in private chapels, repealing laws obliging<br />
conformity to the Church of England. Many Anglicans rejected the declaration on religious and legal grounds as the King was<br />
suspending laws made by parliament. Archbishop Sancroft objected publically along with seven others. They were arrested for sedition<br />
and imprisoned in the Tower, though later acquitted.<br />
William & Mary (1688-1694)<br />

The dispute which resulted in the Siege of Gibraltar dates from 1738 and is based on the control of lucrative trading routes to the Americas. At<br />
the outbreak of the American War of Independence Spain and France supplied American rebels with arms to aid their mutual cause - defeating<br />
the British. By 1779 both France and Spain had declared war on Britain and joined forces at the Treaty of Aranjuez. The Rock was besieged in<br />
1779 and after numerous naval engagements around the Iberian coast, several of which are recorded by commemorative medals, it was finally<br />
relieved in 1783.<br />
