James II silver Specimen "Duke of Monmouth and Argyle Beheaded" Medal 1685 SP60 PCGS, Eimer-281, MI-I-615/27. 61mm. Edge plain. By R. Arondeaux. The Duke of Monmouth James Scott, nephew of James II, tried to seize the throne in 1685 aided in part by the Earl of Argyll Archibald Campbell; their effort was ultimately futile, however, leading to their capture and execution which is celebrated by this morbid medal. Popular in any grade, a fascinating medal and difficult to obtain in as high a grade as this.
