Mary II, (1688-1694) Large silver medal struck upon the death of Queen Mary 1694, Diam. 60mm. Edge plain. Obverse, bust of Mary II facing right (wearing tiara with hair bound by strings of pearls) by I. Boskam (Jan Boskam). Reverse, a monument of three graduations, decorated with a detailed scene representing the royal funeral procession. Seated above are the three fates: Clotho presides over Mary's birth, Lachesis with a spindle twists her threads of life, and Atropos with scissors cuts the thread in two when her life has run its course. The legend above is: VNICA DIGNA DEO ("Worthy alone of God") and in small letters below: VIVIT. POST. FVNERA. VIRTVS. MDCXCV ("Virtue survives the tomb") The date of 1695 is based on the old calendar. This is a wonderfully well preserved and very rare medal with a deep blue/grey patination. One is accustomed to seeing the conjoined busts of William (III) and Mary (II) as joint monarchs, and a large silver piece such as this is difficult to obtain. This medal is much rarer than the coins of this celebrated monarch. (MI p. 114, No. 349, Eimer -). Toned, extremely fine or better.
