IDENTIFIERS ----------- id: 226418 accession number: LOANCM.70-2012 DATE AUDIT ---------- created: Monday 11 February 2019 updated: Thursday 14 December 2023 DESCRIPTIVE DATA ---------------- object type: almost extremely fine object type: A silver medal, cast and chased, by an unknown workman for Henry VIII. The title of Defender of the Faith was conferred on Henry by Leo X, 11 Oct. 1521, by a Bull which is preserved in the British Library (Cott. MS. Vit. B. IV. 105). The title of Lord of Ireland ('DOM·HYB') shows that this piece must have been executed before 1541. The odour of the Rose, the badge of Henry VIII, is here likened to the fragrant smell which proceeded from the plants and cedars of the valleys of Lebanon. title: British Isles LICENSING --------- text license status: CC0 image license status: CC-BY-NC-SA OWNERSHIP --------- instutition: The Fitzwilliam Museum department: Coins and Medals collection: Weiss Collection STABLE URL ---------- url: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/226418 CATEGORIES ------ category: medal DATING ------ creation date: 1524 - 1524 creation date earliest: 1524 creation date latest: 1524 CREATORS -------- maker: Henry VIII (1509-1547) maker: Anonymous IMAGES surrogate: large format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/cm/cm61/LOANCM_70_2012_281_29.jpg height: 1024 pixels width: 1024 pixels surrogate: mid format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/cm/cm61/mid_LOANCM_70_2012_281_29.jpg height: 500 pixels width: 500 pixels surrogate: original format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/cm/cm61/LOANCM_70_2012_281_29.jpg height: 1024 pixels width: 1024 pixels surrogate: preview format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/cm/cm61/preview_LOANCM_70_2012_281_29.jpg height: 250 pixels width: 250 pixels surrogate: large format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/cm/cm61/LOANCM_70_2012_282_29.jpg height: 1024 pixels width: 1024 pixels surrogate: mid format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/cm/cm61/mid_LOANCM_70_2012_282_29.jpg height: 500 pixels width: 500 pixels surrogate: original format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/cm/cm61/LOANCM_70_2012_282_29.jpg height: 1024 pixels width: 1024 pixels surrogate: preview format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/cm/cm61/preview_LOANCM_70_2012_282_29.jpg height: 250 pixels width: 250 pixels
