STUART. Charles II. 1660-1685. AV Medal (56mm, 122.7 g, 12h). The Treaty of Breda – Showing Dominion Over the Seas. By J. Roettier. Struck 1667. * CAROLVS · SECVNDVS · DEI · GRATIA · MAG · BRI · FRAN · ET · HIB · REX, laureate head right / FAVENTE DEO, Britannia seated left on seashore, holding spear and resting hand on shield, viewing fleet under sail left; personification of the sun above; BRITANNIA in exergue. Edge: (rose) CAROLVS SECVNDVS PACIS ET IMPERII RESTITVOR AVGVSTVS (star stops). MI 535/186; Eimer 241. Polished, marks and scratches. VF. Very rare. In modern case.
From the Drewry Family Collection. Ex Superior (6 February 1978), lot 1069.
Signed at the Dutch city of Breda on 31 July 1667, the Treaty of Breda brought the Second Anglo-Dutch War (1665-1667) to a hasty end due to the invasion of the Southern Netherlands by Louis XIV. Prompted by Michiel de Ruyter’s successful ‘Raid on the Medway’ a little more than a month earlier, which gave the Dutch control of the seas around the southern coast of England, the English quickly sued for peace. Under the terms of the treaty, the Dutch East India Company secured its control of the East Indies and the lucrative worldwide trade in nutmeg. They also gained concessions to the English Navigation Acts, which now allowed them to import German goods into England. In the long term, however, the treaty provided England with the opportunity to expand its overseas empire in North America. The unwillingness of the Dutch to recover Nieuw-Nederland, taken by the English in 1664 (its restoration had been an English concession to peace), now gave England full control of several new colonies (New York, New Jersey, Delaware, and Pennsylvania), as well as the city of Nieuw-Amsterdam - now renamed New York City. The restoration of Acadia by the English to the French foreshadowed the series of wars that would be fought between the two powers for dominance in the North American theater, culminating in the French and Indian War (1754-1763).
