COMMEMORATIVE MEDALS, British Historical Medals, Archbishop Sancroft and the Seven Bishops, Silver Medal, 1688, by Daniel Warou, copying George Bower, bust of Sancroft right, wearing cap and robes, rev named medal portraits of the bishops around that of the Bishop of London, plain edge, 51mm (MI 623/38; Eimer 288, note; Fearon, "Seven Bishops on Trial", The Antique Collector, July 1987, fig.17). Nearly extremely fine, some light scuffing, extremely rare.
The busts depict Henry Compton (London), in centre; Francis Turner (Ely); Thomas Ken (Bath and Wells); Sir John Trelawney (Bristol); Thomas White (Peterborough); John Lake (Chichester) and William Lloyd (St Asaph). This medal is a close copy of, though considerably rarer than, Bower's medal. Warou was a Swedish medallist working in Dresden at this time.

Estimate: £200-250
