This silver medal, created by French medalist Regnier Arondeaux in 1685, depicts James II, King of England, Scotland and Ireland. The medal features a bust portrait of the king in profile, adorned with a laurel wreath. Below the bust, a royal coat of arms is displayed with two scepters and a crown, resting on a base with two ships and a man pulling a net. The inscription surrounding the portrait reads "IACOBVS II. D.G. MAG. BRI. FRAN. ET. HIB. REX", which translates to "James II, by the Grace of God, King of Great Britain, France and Ireland." This medal is a significant piece of numismatic art that commemorates James II's reign.
