The reason of the Prince’s portrait being so frequently put
forward may have been to serve as repeated assertions of his
legitimacy, and of his right of succession to the crown of
England. There does not appear to have been any especial
reason for the issuing of these medals at this time. They
were probably intended as memorials given by King James to
the adherents, who visited him in his retirement.

This medalet is without date, hut its similarity to the preceding
piece leaves little doubt of its having been struck about
the same time.

This is a shell, and is probably a proof of a die for the
obverse of a medal for which no reverse appears to have been
made. The style of the work is that of Norbert Boettier.
