Hawkins: This medal is well executed, and was struck in Holland. The peculiar mode of confining the King's hair in a bag occurs only on the satirical medals of James II., referring to his flight, and on those of William III. struck to commemorate the discontent of the Dutch and on his imputed defeat at Landen.
