MB. M. Rare.
The eagle and the triple head are probably intended for
Prussia and Jacobitism ; and the King is said to be consulting
for the public security by subduing them and appointing a new
Administration, which was done on the day mentioned on this
medal, when the Privy Seal was restored to Earl Gower, who
had previously held that office. The portrait of the Earl is
taken from Faber after Vanloo.
