These medals were struck at Berlin; on the reverse of the
second is a very slight flaw, much more visible on the third,
which could not have been issued before 1700, when Frederick
assumed the title of King of Prussia, Marl was a pupil of
Faltz, and at his death became the possessor of all his dies.
When William had resolved upon his expedition into
England, he confided his plans to the Elector of Branden-
burg, who entered cordially into his views, and placed Schom-
berg in command of the troops to defend Holland, during
William’s absence. Juno is intended to symbolize the silence
and prudence necessary for the success of the undertaking.

This medal was struck at Gotha, and was executed by
Christian Wermuth. It is a satire upon the birth and flight
of the young Prince. He is placed in the arms of a Jesuit,
because Father Petre, the King’s confessor and a Privy
Councillor, was the chief adviser in all the attempts to establish
