Charles II silver "Restoration" Medal 1660 AU/UNC, Eimer-214, MI-I-460/54. 63mm. Edge plain. By J. Roettier. An exceptionally important medal produced to celebrate the restoration of Charles II to the throne, and boasting captivating eye appeal. The relief of Charles's portrait is especially bold and finely worked, indicative of a nation proud of their newly-restored King; despite some scratching in the field and some light bruising to the highest points of Charles's bust, this piece is largely unscathed with a superb iridescent toning overlaying the entire planchet. Extremely popular amongst collectors of British medals for its visual appeal and historical significance, we have no doubt that this medal will elicit strong bidding.
