Executed in England to commemorate the accession of
William and Mary; the result being expressed in the legend.
Van Loon erroneously states that they were struck only in gold
and given to those who had been engaged in the ceremony of
the coronation. Although the specimens in silver are generally
cast, that in the Museum is struck.

Gotha, iR. Rare.
Struck in Holland upon the coronation. The obverse is emblematical
of Great Britain. William and Mary, the orange and
the rose, with the four sceptres of England, France, Scotland,
and Ireland united under one crown, and supported upon the
laws of England, and the Bible, thus provide for the security
of the kingdom and the happiness of the people. The Eye of
Providence indicates the only source of such a happy combination.
The design of the reverse has been already noticed under
No. 5. James is the fallen oak, William the flourishing orange-
tree.
