Can anyone tie this bust to a known piece? Presumably a medal. A similar style of bust with differences to the drapery was used on a medal of Charles II and Catherine ref. M.I.540/192 of which an example was sold in the Archbishop Sharp sale (Glens 5/10/1977 lot 305) where it was attributed to Philip Roettier ca.1667.

Thanks.

Sorry Rob, unknown to me. It is an interesting piece though. Is it a planchet or is it a die?

Kind of hard to tell from the pic.

Looks a wee bit like Falconer's work, doesn't it?

It's in the Royal Mint archived collection of old dies and punches. I'm just trying to find out where it was used. I don't have any medal reference books, so was hoping someone could help.
