Overlijden van Maria II van Engeland 1695

This silver medal, created by Jan Boskam in 1695, commemorates the death of Queen Mary II of England. The medal depicts the Queen in profile, adorned with a crown and elaborate hair. The inscription on the medal, "MARIA II. D.G. MAG. BRIT. FRAN. ET. HIB. REGINA," translates to "Mary II, by the Grace of God, Queen of Great Britain, France and Ireland." This artwork is a prime example of commemorative medallic art, serving as a tangible reminder of the Queen's reign and legacy. The small size and weight of the medal likely indicate its intended use as a personal memento or collectible item.
