Charles II, Restoration, Moses, 1660, a silver medal, unsigned [by T. Rawlins], Moses watches the Israelites making bricks while being beaten by their Egyptian taskmasters, cvm dvplicatvr onvs redit moyses, rev. in æter memor caroli ii ma br franc et hibern clementissimi regis reds 29 maii 1660 in eight lines within oak wreath, 31mm, 8.57g (MI I, 462/56; v. Loon II, 464; E 217). Very fine, toned £800-£1,000

Hawkins assigns this medal to Simon but with no evidence of any sort. However Grueber, in the 1911 MI Plates, ascribes it to Thomas Rawlins, comparing it with Rawlins' Restoration medals, an attribution which makes far more sense.
