Description

This is one of the medallic plaques, by Simon de Passe, of the Royal family and court of James I. Whether issues merely as medallic portraits, or upon any particular occasion, is not clear. The motto was one adopted by James, in allusion to his peaceful disposition. These medals by Passe, though commonly supposed to be engraved, are only stamped in imitation of engraving.
