Very rare.
A fine medal by Jean Varin, cast and chased, and in high relief.

honours, upon the death of his elder brother, and was subsequently
created Yiscount Downe in the peerage of Ireland. He
died 9 Sept. 1679, without issue, leaving his property to his
niece, who was the mother of the first Lord Ducie, of Tortworth
in Gloucestershire.

The fleet which was equipped to bring about this treaty was
engaged in clearing the narrow seas of pirates.
