This 1660 gold medal by John Roettier, a prominent English medalist, depicts a profile portrait of Charles II, the King of England, Scotland, and Ireland, facing right. The inscription around the edge reads "CAROLUS. II. D. G. ANG. SCOT. FRAN. ET HIB. REX." This translates to "Charles II, by the Grace of God, King of England, Scotland, France, and Ireland." The medal is a testament to the artistic skill of Roettier and a reminder of the grandeur of the English monarchy in the 17th century.
