Richard II, from the English Monarchs series 1731 - 1732

This bronze medal, created by Jean Dassier between 1731 and 1732, depicts Richard II, King of England, in profile. The medal is part of Dassier's "English Monarchs" series, which portrays notable figures in English history. The inscription "RICARDUS II." and the Latin phrase "D.G.A. FR. ET. HIB. REX" (By the Grace of God, King of England, France, and Ireland) surround the portrait, providing historical context for the piece. The detail of the king's crown and attire contribute to the medal's realistic and evocative portrayal of a significant historical figure.
