IDENTIFIERS ----------- id: 226564 accession number: CM.TR.2135-R DATE AUDIT ---------- created: Wednesday 27 February 2019 updated: Monday 29 July 2019 DESCRIPTIVE DATA ---------------- object type: This medal is placed by Van Loon and others amongst those which commemorate Queen Anne's accession, but, comparing the decoration of her person with that on other medals of about 1707 amd 1708, there can be little doubt that they were all struck about the same period. The artist and engraver is probably John Croker. The device of the reverse points to the Union as the event commemorated, and as constituting a new kingdom, of which Anne is considered the Palladium, or defence, as the statue of Pallas was deemed for Troy so long as it remained within its walls. title: British Isles LICENSING --------- text license status: CC0 image license status: CC-BY-NC-SA OWNERSHIP --------- instutition: The Fitzwilliam Museum department: Coins and Medals collection: Trinity College Loan STABLE URL ---------- url: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/226564 CATEGORIES ------ category: medal DATING ------ creation date: 1707 - 1707 creation date earliest: 1707 creation date latest: 1707 CREATORS -------- maker: Anne (1702-14) maker: Croker, John CITATIONS -------- Medallic Illustrations of the History of Great Britain and Ireland to the Death of George II: Vol 1 Medallic Illustrations of the History of Great Britain and Ireland to the Death of George II: Vol 2 ---
