Unique?
This is an engraved medal, and probably the work of Simon Passe. In the Medallic History the arms and motto are said to be those of the family of Vincent. Pinkerton was probably misled by the motto. The arms are those of Dove of Camberwell, granted 1572. (See Surrey Visitations, Harl. MSS. 5830, fol. 108.) The modern style in which the arms are engraved renders it doubtful whether they have any relation to the portrait, and they may be merely those of a former possessor of this medal.
See Pinkerton, J., ‘The Medallic History of England to the Revolution’, London, 1790 (fol.), xx. 2.
