Not very common.
This medal was executed in England by Norbert Roettier after
the Restoration. It was the first essay of this artist, and is
said to have been made by him when his father, John Roettier,
was engaged on the following medal of Charles I. (See Stuart
Papers, Windsor, where however there seems some confusion in
the descriptions.)

This seldom occurs in any metal but silver. Evelyn pronounces
the portrait upon these three medals as “ incomparably
the most resembling his serene countenance when fullest of
princely vigour.”

MB. At. Extremely rare.
The bust is similar to those upon the previous medals; it
is by the artist Norbert Roettier. This is struck upon an
extremely thin piece Of metal; and probably intended to have
been framed, or inlaid in some piece of furniture. It formed
one of a series of portraits of Sovereigns of England from
Charles I. to William III., executed by Roettier about the
beginning of the reign of Anne. (See similar pieces of
Charles II., James II., and William IH.)
