Anne silver "Union of Scotland and England" Medal 1707 AU (Surface Hairlines), Eimer-423, MI-II-298/115. 70mm. Edge plain. By J. Croker. Starkly attractive, a beautiful piece of Neoclassical imagery conjured up by the talented engraver J. Croker. On the obverse we see one of the finest portraits of a crowned Queen Anne ever produced in medallic art, whilst the reverse shows Anne as Pallas with the inscription NOVAE. PALLADIVM. TROIAE., or Safeguard of New Troy - the united England and Scotland. The fields of this enchanting offering show brushing and hairlines from past cleaning, but the medal has retoned very well so as to disguise this detraction, the devices and peripheries exhibiting a pale gold aura. Seldom offered, one of Anne's most appealing medals and worthy of placement within a top shelf collection of British medals.
