the British Museum.

2. MB. JR. Rare.
The die of the obverse of this medal was again used a few
years later, as the type occurs with the portrait of the Princess
Louisa, dated 1712. (See No. 241, p. 388.)

2. MB. pewter. Extremely rare.
This medal must evidently have been struck when some
hopes were entertained that in Scotland, at least, the Stuart
family would be again placed upon the throne, and that James
VIII. would really reign. The lines on the reverse are adopted
from Virg. Aen. vi. 792-794, with slight variations.

MB. JR. Very rare.
This piece is a “ mule,” having been struck by Mr. Young
from dies which he had purchased from the representatives of
Roettier, and which he afterwards presented to the British
Museum. The die of the obverse was originally executed for
No. 515, p. 201, and is much effaced by rust, so that portions
of the legend are scarcely traceable.
