See "Medallic Illustrations of the History of Great Britain and Ireland" vol.I, page 283/94. In 1885, "Medallic Illustrations" rated this medal as "rare". This medal was struck to commemorate the extinction of the rebellion in Scotland. The King had assembled an army of 23,000 men and was about to attack the rebel commanders when they sent a petition for the appointment of a commission to negotiate a peace. A pacification was concluded on 18 June, 1639 and so the union of the rose and thistle was preserved. Thomas Simon studied engraving under Nicholas Briot and was renowned for his minuteness and delicacy of work.
