This is a commemorative medal created by Thomas Bernard in 1700 to celebrate the acceptance of the Spanish throne by Philip of Anjou. The obverse depicts a bust of Louis XIV, King of France, with the inscription "Ludovicus XIV Rex Christianissimus". The reverse depicts a scene of Philip of Anjou accepting the crown, surrounded by the Latin inscription "Labor Ornatis est Auribus". This small, bronze medal, measuring only 2.7 cm in diameter, is a testament to the artistic talents of Bernard and the historical significance of the event it commemorates.
