This medal is copied from the preceding, and was struck in
Holland to supply collectors, who were unable to procure the
more valuable one by Simon. Both dies, after some use, failed.
A new die of the obverse was engraved, and the defect, of the
reverse removed by polishing; but with the defect some of the
work has been destroyed. The early impressions have the' edge
milled,
