With the concluding of the Glorious Revolution and coronation of the co-monarchs William III and Mary, England was finally being ruled again by protestant monarchs which was a relief for the protestant nobility of the country. This medal is depicting this newly felt security.

The reverse is emblematic of the state of England, who, being liberated from the yoke of tyranny and slavery, is represented seated in repose under the protection of William and Mary.
