Step into the legacy of the early Hanoverian era with the George I Bronze Medal, part of Jean Dassier’s acclaimed “Kings and Queens of England” series. Struck around 1734 in rich bronze, this distinguished medal captures the likeness of the first British monarch of the House of Hanover with refined artistry and historical authenticity.
On the obverse, George I is presented in a classical style, shown laureate and robed in a nod to antique portraiture, surrounded by the Latin inscription honouring his royal titles. The reverse continues Jean Dassier’s signature approach, often depicting a symbolic scene or inscription that reflects the king’s reign or commemorates his legacy, delivering a sophisticated narrative in medallic form.
Jean Dassier’s medals are celebrated for their exceptional craftsmanship, historical accuracy, and elegant design, establishing a benchmark in eighteenth-century numismatic art. This George I bronze medal is not only a tribute to the monarch who oversaw the dawn of modern parliamentary Britain but also a testament to the enduring tradition and unrivalled artistry of the Royal Mint.
