This church, together with the Cloister, was founded in
1036, as stated in the chronogram of the first half of the
inscription on the reverse, by Walter, Count of Glitzberg, for
the use of the Scottish Benedictine Fathers who had settled in
Erfurt. The tomb of the Count and his wife, Hedwige von
Vohburg, still exists in the church, which is now included in
the parish of St. Nicholas. In 1725 the church was restored,
and a new façade built, and in that state it remains to the present
day. Marianus Brockie was Superior of the Cloister from
1719 to 1727, and it was during his term of office, and under
his direction, that the church was restored.

On the 2nd February, 1725, William, third Earl of Essex,
was elected a Knight of the Order of St. Andrew, and it was
probably soon after this event that this jeton was struck. It
was intended for use as a card counter.

This medal is cast and chased, and in high relief; it was
executed at Rome when Wray visited that city in 1726. The
bust was said-to be “ a striking representation” of the eminent
original. Wray was a fellow of the Royal Society, Yice-
President of the Society of Antiquaries, and a Trustee of the
British Museum. He was a deputy Teller of the Exchequer
and was conspicuous for his regular and steady attention to
all duties entrusted to him. These qualities, combined with
extieme punctuality in all matters of business, and with unremitting
perseverance, gave occasion to the inscription on the
reverse of this medal. He died 29 Dec. 1783.
