This silver medal, created by Thomas Simon in 1661, depicts King Charles II enthroned and being crowned by Peace, an allegorical figure descending from above. The inscription around the edge reads: "RE SECULO. XVII. APR 1661. CVRRE. SVVS. MSVS. EVERSO," which translates to "In the Seventeenth Century, April 1661, His Course is Renewed, Overthrown." The medal commemorates the restoration of the monarchy in England, following the tumultuous Commonwealth period. The imagery celebrates the king's return and the peaceful re-establishment of the monarchy.
