Anne silver "Victories over Louis XIV" Medal 1706 AU, Eimer-422, MI-II-289/98. 43mm. By P. H. Müller. Edge reads: DOMINVS TRADIDIT EVM IN MANVS FOEMINAE. IVDITH. XVI. C. Celebrating the victory of the British over the French King Louis XIV, this satirical medal reads "LVDOVICVS MAGNVS ANNA MAIOR, or "If Louis is tall, then Anne is taller" to mock him for being beaten by a woman. A vibrant piece of history as told through medallic art, this piece exhibits little wear and an appealing magenta-gray tone darkening to charcoal as it surrounds the bold devices.
