Saor Alba Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 Like the scalloped edge on it too. The "Glorious Revolution" was a big deal and still impacts the current political situation in Britain - that being that the Stuarts are not on the throne, and the monarch is the head of the Church of England and not subject to the Vatican.

constanius Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 1788 Centenary of the Glorious Revolution, Great Britain. If the designer of the token had placed the 'gap' for William's hair between the III & DEI William's bust could have been rotated to be squarely above the date. As it is, you have to either have the date at the bottom & William with his nose stuck in the air(& what a nose) or William looking straight ahead and the date twisted up under his arm. I too like the scalloped edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiho Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 Interesting token/medal. The scalloped edge reminds me of this... However the edge on my duit was done by a bored Dutchman with too much free time of his hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
