The Claremont Collection of Historical Medals
Death of John Freind, 1728, a copper medal by F. St Urbain, bust left, rev. ancient physician and modern physician standing, shaking hands, medical implements at their feet, 58mm (MI II, 488/28; E 515). About extremely fine, scarce
£100-£120

John Freind (1675-1728), physician and MP, was appointed personal physician to the Princess of Wales in 1726, a position he retained when she became Queen Caroline the following year. As the Duke and Duchess of Newcastle were notorious hypochondriacs it is very likely that they would have consulted such an eminent practitioner
