IDENTIFIERS ----------- id: 226257 accession number: CM.YG.1401-R DATE AUDIT ---------- created: Monday 21 January 2019 updated: Thursday 13 July 2023 DESCRIPTIVE DATA ---------------- object type: From the reign of Elizabeth I (1558-1603) notable successes of the Royal Navy were occasionally celebrated by commemorative medals, which gave great scope for images of ships in sail and naval battles. In Elizabeth's own reign, England was twice threatened with a Spanish invasion. The defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588 was marked by the issue of this superb gold medal, attributed to the famous painter and goldsmith Nicholas Hilliard (1547-1619). It shows a bay tree (believed to be a protection from storms) on an island representing Britain, with ships in the distance. title: Great Britain LICENSING --------- text license status: CC0 image license status: CC-BY-NC-SA OWNERSHIP --------- instutition: The Fitzwilliam Museum department: Coins and Medals collection: Young Collection STABLE URL ---------- url: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/226257 CATEGORIES ------ category: medal DATING ------ creation date: 1588 - 1588 creation date earliest: 1588 creation date latest: 1588 CREATORS -------- maker: Elizabeth I (1558-1603) maker: Hilliard, Nicholas CITATIONS -------- Medallic Illustrations of the History of Great Britain and Ireland to the Death of George II: Vol 1 --- IMAGES surrogate: large format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/cm/cm66/large_CM_YG_1401_R_281_29.jpg height: 1229 pixels width: 1024 pixels surrogate: mid format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/cm/cm66/mid_CM_YG_1401_R_281_29.jpg height: 600 pixels width: 500 pixels surrogate: original format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/cm/cm66/CM_YG_1401_R_281_29.jpg height: 3402 pixels width: 2835 pixels surrogate: preview format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/cm/cm66/preview_CM_YG_1401_R_281_29.jpg height: 300 pixels width: 250 pixels surrogate: large format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/cm/cm66/large_CM_YG_1401_R_282_29.jpg height: 1229 pixels width: 1024 pixels surrogate: mid format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/cm/cm66/mid_CM_YG_1401_R_282_29.jpg height: 600 pixels width: 500 pixels surrogate: original format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/cm/cm66/CM_YG_1401_R_282_29.jpg height: 3402 pixels width: 2835 pixels surrogate: preview format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/cm/cm66/preview_CM_YG_1401_R_282_29.jpg height: 300 pixels width: 250 pixels surrogate: large format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/639/914/large_CM_YG_1401_R_2008_mas.jpg height: 495 pixels width: 1024 pixels surrogate: mid format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/639/914/mid_CM_YG_1401_R_2008_mas.jpg height: 242 pixels width: 500 pixels surrogate: original format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/639/914/CM_YG_1401_R_2008_mas.jpg height: 3504 pixels width: 7246 pixels surrogate: preview format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/639/914/preview_CM_YG_1401_R_2008_mas.jpg height: 121 pixels width: 250 pixels surrogate: zoom format: pyramid tiff location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/639/914/CM_YG_1401_R_2008_mas.ptif height: 3504 pixels width: 7246 pixels surrogate: large format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/640/683/CM_YG_1401_R_2_dc1.jpg height: 707 pixels width: 583 pixels surrogate: mid format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/640/683/mid_CM_YG_1401_R_2_dc1.jpg height: 606 pixels width: 500 pixels surrogate: original format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/640/683/CM_YG_1401_R_2_dc1.jpg height: 707 pixels width: 583 pixels surrogate: preview format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/640/683/preview_CM_YG_1401_R_2_dc1.jpg height: 303 pixels width: 250 pixels surrogate: large format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/651/952/large_CM_YG_1401_R_2008_dc1.jpg height: 571 pixels width: 1024 pixels surrogate: mid format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/651/952/mid_CM_YG_1401_R_2008_dc1.jpg height: 279 pixels width: 500 pixels surrogate: original format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/651/952/CM_YG_1401_R_2008_dc1.jpg height: 3504 pixels width: 6286 pixels surrogate: preview format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/651/952/preview_CM_YG_1401_R_2008_dc1.jpg height: 139 pixels width: 249 pixels surrogate: zoom format: pyramid tiff location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/651/952/CM_YG_1401_R_2008_dc1.ptif height: 3504 pixels width: 6286 pixels
