JACOBITE SILVER PEACE NEGOTIATIONS AT GERTRUYDENBERG MEDALLION NORBERT ROETTIER (1665 - 1727), STRUCK 1710 Obverse; laureate and armoured bust of Price James with legend CVIS. EST Reverse; map of Great Britain and Ireland with ships around and motto REDDITE in banner above Diameter: 38mm, weight: 20.2g Note: The political and religious turmoil in early 1700s in Europe lead to peace negotiations to try and restore normality to the continent. This aimed to settle the landscape and the Jacobites hoped that new stability would increase the chances of the British wanting the return of the exiled King James. It is considered that this is the medallion that was discussed by Abel Boyer when he wrote "About this time (July 1710) a medal was dispersed in the Netherlands by the Chevalier de St George's Friends….. This medal was undoubtedly struck at this juncture upon the fond hopes given by Jacobites in England, to their Correspondents in France, that the British Court and Nation were ready to invite the Pretender…. But whatever ground there was for such an expectation things were not yet ripe enough for the Pretenders Friends to throw of the Mask." Struck in silver and bronze (and extremely rarely in gold) this is a rare example of an early medallion at a point when the exiled king still held hopes of regaining the throne.

JACOBITE SILVER PRINCESS CLEMENTINA ESCAPE FROM INNSBRUCK MEDALLION OTTONE HAMERANI (1694 - 1764), STRUCK 1719 Obverse; bust of Princess Clementina with legend CLEMENTINA. M. BRITIAN. FR. ET. HIB. REGINA. Reverse; Princess hurriedly escaping in a horse and carriage with Rome in the distance with legend FORTVNAM. CAV. SAMQVE. SEQVOR and in exergue DECEPTIS. CVSTODIBVIS. MDCCXIX Diameter: 48mm, weight: 47.8g Note: As the last in line to the Stuart throne it was important for King James to marry and marry well giving him further 'rights' and power in the continental Royal courts. He sent Charles Wogan to scour the courts of Europe for an appropriate bride. By 1718 he had arrived at the Sobieski Court in Ohlau and an agreement was made that Clementina would become his bride. The now betrothed Clementina travelled incognito to meet James in Bologna with her mother accompanied by James Murray. However, word had likely reached King George of the planned union and he was rightly worried this signalled the future of the Stuart line, meaning the marriage had to be stopped from taking place. To this end he ordered Emperor Charles VI to hold the wedding party at Innsbruck; a ruler who felt compelled to obey, surely down to reasons of state and his own protection. By September both Clementina and her mother were being held prisoner in Innsbruck by which time James had arrived in Bologna to meet them. On hearing the news, in October, he sent Charles Wogan to rescue his bride and bring her to meet him so they could be married. In cavalier style Wogan saved the Princess, substituting her for a maid servant and leaving her mother to explain all when the plot would be discovered the day after. They both fled to Bologna to meet James, who by this time had left as there was hope of support from Spain. Clementina was married to James in Bologna by proxy with James Murray standing in his stead before they left to meet with James. It has been said that this medal was ordered by Pope Innocent XI as the Sobieski's were staunch Catholics, with the hope that when James and Clementina married they would secure the Catholic Stuarts a place back on the throne.
JACOBITE SILVER TREATY OF AIX-LA-CHAPELLE MEDALLION JOSEPH CHARLES ROETTIER (1693 - 1779), STRUCK 1748 Obverse; right facing bust of Prince Charles, legend CAROLUS WALLIEA PRINCEOPS (Charles Prince of Wales) 1745 Reverse; standing figure of Britannia with union flag within shield protecting a globe showing the British Isles, with rock and sea weed in foreground and ships in sail behind, legend AMOR ET SPES (Love and Hope), with BRITANNIA in exergue Diameter: 41mm, weight: 29.4g Note: Often termed the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle medallion it is also known as the 'Young Pretender 1745' medallion. The Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle ended Europe's wide political and monarchical turmoil in the late 1740s. Although not directly linked to the Jacobite's or Stuart succession, the British Hanoverian Government and Monarchy used it as an opportunity to shut the door on the support offered by France. Part of their demands in the treaty were that France's monarchy were to denounce the Stuart claim and instead offer support to the reigning Hanoverian monarchy, with the result of expelling the Stuarts from France. It appears that Charles took this opportunity to try and garner support for his cause and commissioned these medallions, issued in various sizes and metals. The medallions seem to have almost caused some political tension and offence to both France and Britain. Although dated 1745, they date to 1748 with the Treaty and commemorate the uprising of '45. With the understanding he would be expelled from France, Charles took the opportunity, in his usual brash fashion, to commission these. It is quoted by Ascanius (aka the Young Adventurer) that Charles "first indication he gave of his disgust [of the Treaty] was to cause a great number of medals both of silver and copper to be cast having his head and this inscription, CAROLUS WALLIAE PRINCEPS: and the reverse Britannia and shipping with the motto, AMOR ET SPES BRITANNIA, Everyone was surprised at the device; as France was reduced to the condition of peace entirely by the bravery of the British fleet, this device gave great offence to the French ministry..." Indeed, it would appear that Joseph Charles Roettier was embarrassed and concerned to take the commission, as he worked for the French Mint at the time.

SCARCE JACOBITE PRINCE CHARLES EDWARD STUART AND PRINCE HENRY LEGITIMACY OF THE JACOBITE SUCCESSION SILVER MEDAL OTTONE HAMERANI (1694 - 1764), STRUCK C.1731 Obverse; armoured and draped bust of Prince Charles facing right with motto MICAT. INTER. OMNES and with six pointed star within field Reverse; armoured bust of Prince Henry facing left with legend ALTER. AB. ILLO The edge with additional motto EXTVLIT. OS. SACRVM. COELO * DIE XXXI DECEMBR. MDCCXX Diameter: 41mm, weight: 46g Note: Two main types of this classic 'Two Princes' medallion exist: those without edge lettering, and the rarer type, such as this, with the additional motto to the edge. This example is further improved by the contemporary addition of the suspension ring, making this not a medallion but a Jacobite supporter's badge/medal. Stuart medals such as this are recorded as early as King Charles I when were worn by Royalist supporters under their shirts and close to their hearts. They proved allegiance to the beheaded monarch in the time of Oliver Cromwell's rule under the Commonwealth. The wearing of such items were thought to have mystical and protective properties, as is seen with the touch pieces handed out by the monarchs and worn by supporters.
