Title
Post Medieval: Medal of Anne, commemorating the victory of Liege in 1702
Description
English: A complete milled silver medal of Anna (AD 1702 to AD 1714), commemorating the victory of siege of Liege in 1702, as part of the Spanish Succession battle. The obverse depicts a crowned bust of Anne facing left. The inscription reads ANNA DEI GRA MAG BR FR ET HIB REGINA. The reverse depicts a battle scene with a castle on the left, trees on the right, four cannons in the foreground, along with infantry and cavalry troops. The inscription around the top reads VIRES ANIMVMQUE MINISTRAT (She gives forces and courage). In exergue, the legend reads: CAPTIS COLONIA TRAJANA VENLO RVREMVNDA [STEPHANOVERDA LEODIO MDCCII] (Keysersweert, Venlo, Ruremonde, Stevensweerd and Liege taken in the year 1702).

The medal has a diameter of 37.0 mm and is 2.1 mm thick. It weighs 17.5 g.

Philip Attwood (Keeper of Coins and Medals, British Museum) comments that this is a medal by John Croker (1670-1741) commemorating the capitulation in 1702 of various towns on the Meuse including Liege. The other towns listed are Kaiserswerth, Venlo, Roermond and Stevensweert. The medal is published in Edward Hawkins' 'Medallic illustrations of the history of Great Britain and Ireland' (1885), vol. 2, p. 241, no. 26.
