Description: Charles II, Education of Prince William, 1654. Cast Medal by Pieter Van Abeele. A cast copper medallion made using the methods of the medalist Pieter Van Abeele, a dutch medalist, famed for his method of pressing medals, obverse and reverse separated and then joining them with a metal rim. This medal follows the methods of Van Abeele. The medal is repousse and is of two adjoined sides, the metal rim now a bit damaged. The nature of the casting and the manufacturing of this medallion mean that the wear looks dramatic, with the nose of Prince William being somewhat flattened, returning into the centre of the medallion.
