MB. Hi gilt. Rare.
This piece is cast and chased, and in high relief. Its style
and work is similar to the medal of Elizabeth, described at
No. 85, p. 132. The specimen in the British Museum is not
contemporary and was probably executed about the middle of
the last century. The omission of the arms of Scotland in the
shield is probably accidental.
