Prince James (III) silver "Appeal Against the House of Hannover" Medal 1721 UNC, Eimer-493, MI-II-454/63. 49.5 mm. Edge plain. By O. Hamerani. Featuring an extraordinary portrait of James III the Pretender, this exceptional offering exhibits deep mirror fields with a light charcoal tone to the margins, essentially no wear nor detracting marks marring its gleaming surface. The reverse is particularly interesting, for both its dramatic scene of the Hanoverian horse trampling the heraldic lion and unicorn of Britain whilst Britannia watches in despair, and for its depiction of London as it was in 1721 with St. Paul's Cathedral very visible above the rooftops. Historically important and of beautiful execution, a wonderful medal in every regard and worthy of a strong bid. Accompanied by a contemporary shagreen leather case.
