This medal, probably by Valerio Belli, is cast, of high relief
and beautiful workmanship. Palatius considers it to refer to
Henry VIII. in his contests with Paul I I I . ; the griffin, a not
inappropriate emblem of a Tudor, symbolizing the King, whom
the Pope was seeking to reduce by his wisdom to a sane mind.
When all hopes of reclaiming Henry VIII. to the Church of
Borne had been abandoned by the Pope, he published, 17 Dec.
1538, the Bull of excommunication which had been drawn up
and approved in a full consistory of Cardinals in 1535.
Venuti, however, and Bonanni think that this medal refers to
the Pope’s reduction of Perugia, the armorial bearing of which
was a griffin, and this is the more probable solution. (See Ver-
miglioli, Della Zecca e delle monete Perugine, p. 113.)
