Damiano Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 Hi. I have purchased this jetton with others ones and I have found no reference about it. The reverse is the same of a 1791 jetton of Louis XVI (Hennin 241) with a legend lightly different, but the obverse depicts a female bust (Anne of Bretagne?). Can you help me? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 The portrait and what I can read of the legend suggest Anne of England, 1702-1714 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comitia Americana Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 I agree, the obverse is Queen Anne, England, and is the same as other Queen Anne pieces I have (on the obverse.) e.g. Treasure at Vigo Bay. Don't know the reverse though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

constanius Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Hi.I have purchased this jetton with others ones and I have found no reference about it. The reverse is the same of a 1791 jetton of Louis XVI (Hennin 241) with a legend lightly different, but the obverse depicts a female bust (Anne of Bretagne?). Can you help me? Thank you Circa 1710. Queen Anne. Rev. FVNDAMENTVM QVIETIS NOSTRAE. ECCLES. ANGL. Brass 26mm. by Lazarus G. Lauffer Nuremburg. Circa 1714. George 1st. Rev. FVNDAMENTVM QVIETIS NOSTRAE. ECCLES. ANGL. Brass 26mm. FVNDAMENTVM QVIETIS NOSTRAE. ECCLES. ANGL means The Church of England is the basis (or foundation) of our Peace. These were early propaganda tokens/jetons stressing that the protestant church was the way to maintain peace in Great Britain. Both Queen Anne & King George faced threats from legitimate claimants to the throne. These were Catholic and supported by french funds and sometimes french troops and had tremendous support in Scotland and Ireland plus some support from catholic families even in England. The Jacobite Risings were a series of uprisings, rebellions, and wars in the British Isles occurring between 1688 and 1746. The uprisings were aimed at returning James VII of Scotland and II of England, and later his descendants of the House of Stuart, to the throne after he was deposed by Parliament during the Glorious Revolution. The series of conflicts takes its name from Jacobus, the Latin form of James. The major Jacobite Risings were called the Jacobite Rebellions by the ruling governments. The "First Jacobite Rebellion" and "Second Jacobite Rebellion" were known respectively as "The Fifteen" and "The Forty-Five", after the years in which they occurred (1715 and 1745). Although each Jacobite Rising has unique features, they all formed part of a larger series of military campaigns by Jacobites attempting to restore the Stuart kings to the thrones of Scotland and England (and after 1707, Great Britain) after James VII of Scotland and II of England was deposed in 1688 and the thrones claimed by his daughter Mary II jointly with her husband, the Dutch born William of Orange. The risings continued, and even intensified, after the House of Hanover succeeded to the British Throne in 1714. They continued until the last Jacobite Rebellion ("the Forty-Five"), led by Charles Edward Stuart (the Young Pretender), was soundly defeated at the Battle of Culloden in 1746, ending any realistic hope of a Stuart restoration. These tokens/jetons were a none too subtle reminder of the unity provided by the Church of England and the fear of a catholic monarch on the throne of England. See below! Autumn Kelly was born into a Catholic family in Quebec, Canada in 1978. After graduating from McGill University in 2002, she became a management consultant. The following year she met Peter Phillips at the Canadian Grand Prix and they soon became a couple. Their engagement was announced in July 2007 and they married in St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle on 17 May 2008. Before her marriage, Autumn Kelly converted from the Roman Catholic Church to the Church of England. If she had remained Catholic after her marriage, her husband would have lost his place in the line of the succession to the Throne, due to the Act of Settlement 1701 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
