Bust of James II., r., laureate, hair long,
in armour and mantle. Legend:
IACOBVS: II : D : G : M : B : R. Below, N.R.
(Norbert Roettier.) Rev. Bust of Prince
James, l., hair long, tied behind, in armour.
Legend. IAC. WALLIÆ :PRINCEPS. Below,
N.R. (Norbert Roettier.). Commentary:
The reason of the Prince's portrait being so
frequently put forward may have been to
serve as repeated assertions of his
legitimacy, and of his right of succession
to the crown of England. There does not
appear to have been any especial reason
for issuing of these medals at this time.
They were probably intended as memorials
given by King James to the adherents, who
visited him in his retirement.
