These pieces were struck to commemorate the extinction
of the rebellion in Scotland, and are all probably early productions
of Thomas Simon, who was a pupil of Briot. The
King had assembled an army of 23,000 men, and was about to
attack the rebel commanders, when they sent a petition for the
appointment of a commission to negotiate a peace. A pacification
was concluded 18 June, 1689, and thus the union of the
rose and thistle was preserved.
