S-2727; North-2384; Fr-258; KM-256.2; Schneider-298 (same dies); Brooker-839 (same obv. die). Weight: 26.95 gms. Declaration type. Obverse: CAROLVS - D : G - MAGN : BRIT : FRAN : ET : HIB : REX -:, crowned and armored half-length bust left, holding sword and olive branch; banded plumes to right; Reverse: EXVRGAT : DEVS : DISSIPENTVR : INIMICI :, (continuing into inner field on continuous scroll) RELIG : PROT / LEG : ANG / LIBER : PAR; above, three banded plumes above III (mark of value). The second year of this popular and eminently desirable "declaration" type, and QUITE RARE in this Mint State preservation, the graceful life-like portrait rendered in minute detail and with no areas of noticeable weakness upon either side. The surfaces are a bright yellow-gold with a faint touch of sunset-orange patina, and have managed to escape both wear and any harsh attempts at cleaning. The largest gold denomination struck in England, and one that always sees heavy competition when found in the nearly as-made present condition.

During the reign of Charles I, a number of factors put strain upon the relationship between the King and Parliament. His marriage to a Roman Catholic (Henrietta Maria of France), a broad failure in wars with Spain and France, the levying of taxes without the consent of Parliament, and the use of antiquated laws to fine individuals all contributed to revolts and an estrangement of Charles from main factions in Parliament. One of the final blows before the start of the war was Charles's attempted arrest of five members of the House of Commons, going so far as to enter the House chamber by force with an armed guard. After this failed arrest attempt, Parliament seized control of London and Charles marched north to raise an army against them, eventually controlling the west and north of England, having set up his court at Oxford.

While assembled in Wellington (before one of the first battles of the war), Charles made what became known as the "Wellington Declaration," wherein he declared that he would uphold "the Protestant Religion, the Laws of England and the Liberty of Parliament." This slogan was afterward given a Latin abbreviation, which was added to the design of several of his coins--including this Triple Unite--which boldly displays it upon the reverse. On its obverse we see Charles wielding a sword, a warrior-like depiction present upon much of Charles's coinage and meant to inspire his subjects. However, his cause was all but lost by 1645 in the face of the Parliamentarians' New Model Army under Sir Thomas Fairfax and Oliver Cromwell. While seeking assistance from a Scottish army in Nottinghamshire, he was handed over to Parliament only to broker a secret deal with the Scots, leading to the Second Civil War where he was once again defeated. This time, he was tried, convicted, and ultimately executed, leading to the brief Commonwealth period in England under the Cromwells. By 1660, Charles's eponymous son would be crowned and the monarchy restored.

NGC MS61 | Marriage of James (III) to Princess Clementina, AR Medal, c. 1719, by O. Hamerani, IACOBVS • III • D • G • M • B • F • ET • H • REX, armoured and draped bust right, rev. CLEMENTINA • MAGNAE • BRITANNIAE • ET • C • REG •, draped bust left, 49mm, 37.79g (Eimer 485; MI ii 446/52; Woolf 37:1), with some hairlining, cabinet toned, uniformly in a dark-silver to reverse, glossy brilliance to the fields, extremely fine, in NGC holder, graded MS61 (Cert. #8222378-008).
Provenance,
The Craven Collection of British Historical Medals
,
When Clementina finally arrived at Bologna, after escaping imprisonment, James had already left for Spain in a vain attempt to raise funds for another invasion of Britain. She was married by proxy with James Murray standing in for the Prince. After the ceremony Clementina left for Rome where she stayed at the Ursuline convent whilst waiting for Prince James to return from Spain. This medal is not dated but was probably struck on the occasion of the proxy marriage, although this is not entirely clear.
