Netherlands, The Dutch Republic. Plaquettepenning (Silver, 70mm, 78.43 g 12), on Charles II’s departure from Scheveningen, by P. van Abeele, 1660. CAROLUS.II.D:G.MAGNÆ.BRIT.FRA.ET.HIB.REX Facing bust of Charles II. Rev. IN NOMINE MEO EXALTABITUR CORNU EIUS. PSAL.89 (=in my name shall his horn be exalted) Fleet below figure of Fama blowing horn and holding banner inscribed SOLI DEO GLORIA; below, shell inscribed: Die 2 do Jun:Ao 1660 Schevelinga Angliam versus-tetendit Regia Majestas (=his majesty left Scheveling for his English realm on 2 June 1660). Eimer 210. Frederiks 16/16b variant. MI I, pp. 455-6, 44-46 variant. Van Loon II, pp. 462-463, II variant. A particularly attractive, and extremely rare, example, nicely toned and with a dramatic portrait of Charles II. Usual blow-hole on the edge. Extremely fine.


Abeele did several versions of this impressive medal, of which the type with S.M. is… on the reverse is probably the best known. However this splendid piece, with the shell engraved with the legend in Latin rather than in Dutch, is extremely rare.
