Union of England and Scotland medal
Ruler:
Anne (1702-14)
Maker:
Croker, John
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.
