Here is a good example of a James II Coronation Medal in Silver, made in 1685. This king is considered by many to be the last of the absolute monarchs, but was overthrown after reigning for only three years. The symbolism of the Crown being granted by Heaven on the reverse is important to understand James attitude to his rule. The majority of the nobles disagreed and so he was forced out.
