Two embossed plates, chased, and united by a broad rim ;
executed in Holland, and probably the work of 0. Muller. The
inscriptions are incuse. Both Cromwell and Masaniello were
raised by circumstances to the highest stations in their respective
countries about the same period; but they had nothing else
in common. Tommaso Aniello, commonly called Masaniello,
was the leader of the revolt in Naples in 1647 against the tax
upon fruit. The tax was repealed 13 July, but Masaniello was
assassinated by his own party three days afterwards.

A struck medal by Ferdinand St. Urban, an artist of some
merit, well known for his series of medals of the Dukes of
Lorraine, and several Papal coins. At whose instigation this
medal was struck it is not known: its object is the same as that
of the preceding, to record the remarkable coincidence of two
persons from the private walks of life being raised about the
same time to the supreme government of their respective
countries.
