MB. At gilt. Unique ?
Cast and chased and in high relief. The person here portrayed
is unknown. It is probable, however, that he was a son
of Sir James Harrington, of Exton, in Rutlandshire, who died
in 1591 and had issue thirteen children, some of whom afterwards
settled in Holland. This medal is of Flemish work, and
the type of the reverse appears to record a marriage.

MB. lead. Hunter, At. Bodley, At gilt, Very rare.
Executed by the eminent French artist, Jean Warin, or
Varin, some years after Bodley’s death, 28 Jan. 1612. The
idea of the device is taken from Roman coins of about the
time of Vespasian, and was symbolical of eternity, or of a
duration “ as long as the Sun and Moon endureth.”—Psal. lxxii.

is somewhat smaller in size, measuring in diameter 1*7 inches.

There are at least three varieties of this medal, and it was,
therefore, probably freely circulated amongst the friends of the
Prince. The legend was the motto which he adopted, and was
frequently repeated among the decorations of his hearse. He
died 6 Nov. 1612.
