This small medal is supposed to have been struck soon after
the accession of James II. If the artist meant that the latter
part of the quotation, “ si sit prudentia,” should be in the mind
of the reader, it would be difficult to find a more inappropriate
motto for James. The reverse of this medal is from the same
die as No. 266, p. 589, only altered by inserting the union
crosses on the shield.
