Struck in Holland by Jan Smeltzing. It has not been
ascertained which of these two medals was the first executed.
It is only certain that one reverse was copied from the other,
not that the same idea occurred to both artists. William is
Perseus, Andromeda England, the reward and cause of his
expedition. These were struck upon his coronation.

Also by Jan Smeltzing. On the obverse of this medal are
to be seen cracks in the die, which may account for its rarity,
a few only having been struck before it broke.

This medal was struck in Holland by Jan Smeltzing, upon
the coronation. England, as an eagle, ejects the son of James
for his imputed intrusion, and retains the Princesses, Mary and
Anne, thus vindicating the rights of the kingdom by preserving
the succession in the true line.
