Coronation of George I, 1660-1727, King of England 1714 [obverse] 1714

Nicolaus Seeländer’s 1714 medal, “Coronation of George I, 1660-1727, King of England 1714,” is a detailed and intricate portrait of King George I. The medal, cast in silver, shows the king in profile wearing armor, and features an inscription that translates to "George the First, by the Grace of God, King of Great Britain, France and Ireland." The intricate design is typical of Seeländer's work, which often featured detailed portraiture and decorative elements. This piece was part of a series of commemorative medals commissioned to celebrate the accession of King George I to the throne of England.
