This counter has been described by M. Adrien de Longperier
in the Revue Numismatique, together with other counters
of Tournay, which it resembles in devices and workmanship.
Some of them bear the inscription vtve le boi. Rose branches
had been granted by Louis XI. to his Tournay Guard to be
worn as badges. I t should, however, be stated, that M.
Duleau of Paris, who has paid great attention to counters, is
disposed to doubt the correctness of attributing this piece to
Perkin Warbeck, and considers the name to be that of the
mint-master or of the maker of the counter.

This medal was engraved under the direction of Loos, the
Prussian medallist, at the expense of Mr. Thane, who considered
that the legal representative of the House of York was
entitled to a place by the side of her husband in the series of
English sovereigns. He supplied the artist with the print, by
Vertue, of the Princess and her husband, taken from the
picture at Kensington, painted by Yan Leemput, after the
original by Holbein, which was destroyed in the fire at Whitehall
in 1697. The roses represent the Houses of York and Lancaster,
from whose union have issued the succeeding sovereigns
of Great Britain.

This is hardly a medal, but rather a medallic portrait, embossed
and chased, it is supposed, by Gaab : it is copied, with
tolerable fidelity, from a reputed original picture in the possession
of the Earl of Derby. A similar border may be found to
a medallion of John Ray the botanist, who died in 1704.
Margaret, only daughter of John, Duke of Somerset, grand<
son of John of Gaunt, married Edmund Tudor, Earl of Richmond,
and became the mother of Henry VII. She married
secondly Sir Henry Stafford, and thirdly Thomas, Lord
Stanley, afterwards created Earl of Derby. She died 29 June,
1509, and was buried in Henry the Seventh’s chapel, where are
