Briot, Nicolas (c. 1579-1646)

Cast gold medal of King Charles I, by Nicolas Briot: the Dominion of the Seas, AD 1630. When Charles I (reigned 1625-49) inherited the English throne he determined to have a series of medals made that commemorated the events in his life and which reinforced the concept of the monarch's divine right to rule. The medal was a formal assertion of English power at sea that had been made at regular intervals in the past. The Latin legend boldly asserts 'Nor is that a limit to me, which is a boundary to the world'. D: 61 mm. Reg. no: CM M.7108.
