This 17th-century silver medal, created by Jan Roettiers, features a profile portrait of William Laud, Archbishop of Canterbury from 1633 until his execution in 1645. The inscription around the edge reads "GVIL. LAVD ARCHIEPIS. CANTUAR. AN. 1644," identifying Laud as Archbishop of Canterbury. The medal serves as a historical artifact, capturing the likeness of a significant figure in English history. This piece of numismatic art is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of Roettiers, whose work exemplified the medallic art of the Baroque era.
