On this marble relief portrait, James II is shown crowned with laurels and wearing classical armour, the profile form of the portrait resembling an image on the obverse of the sixty-shilling piece of 1686, by the Flemish artist Roettiers. The purpose of the relief is unknown but it may have been a posthumous commemorative piece made as one of a series of English monarchs.
It is made by an anonymous artist after Jan (John) Roettiers (1631-1703), who was the son of Philip Roettiers (1596-1669), a goldsmith and medallist in Antwerp. Charles II invited the Roettiers brothers John, Joseph and subsequently their third brother Philip to work for the British Royal Mint, where they produced many important medals.
