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.
