"Marriage of Princess Mary to William of Orange" silver Medal 1641 XF (bent, tooled), Eimer-137, Van Loon-II-251. 72mm. By J. Blum. Edge plain. An ever popular 17th century marriage medal of beautiful craftsmanship, featuring the standing figures of William and Mary facing one another under cherubs presenting wreaths. The reverse, even more ornate and rich with imagery, shows Pallas receiving an offering of an olive branch from Peace. The flan bends back at 9 o'clock on the obverse and the fields show extensive tooling, but this piece nonetheless remains attractive in hand.
