The 1685 Great Britain King James II Coronation medal was issued to commemorate the coronation of King James II, who ascended to the throne in 1685 following the death of his brother, Charles II. James II's reign was short-lived, lasting until 1688, and was marked by religious and political conflicts that eventually led to the Glorious Revolution.
The medal features a detailed bust of King James II facing right, adorned with a laurel wreath. The Latin legend around the bust reads "IACOBVS II D G ANG SCO FR ET HIB REX," which translates to "James II, by the Grace of God, King of Great Britain, France, and Ireland"
The reverse side depicts the king enthroned, holding a sceptre and orb, with the Latin legend "INAVGVRAT XXIII AP MDCLXXXV," indicating the coronation date of April 23, 1685
