This small, circular silver medal, created by Simon van de Passe around 1625, depicts Charles I, King of England, in profile. His face is rendered with a high level of detail, showcasing his prominent beard and the intricate folds of his ruff. The inscription surrounding the portrait reads "IN GOD IS MY ONLY TRUST, GIVE THE KING THY JUDGMENT." This medal, a testament to the artistry of van de Passe, is an excellent example of 17th-century portraiture in miniature.
