Holograph notes on possible subjects and mottoes for George I's Coronation medal
A Bible open with this Motto, Fidei Defensor & in the Exurg
A Deo coronatus Oct. 1714.
The same with a hand above the Bible coming out of a cloud &
a Crown.
A King in throne with a Crown held over his head by a hand coming
out of a cloud. The Motto, Consentientibus populis.
The Exurg as before.
A Church upon a rock with the motto Tuta est.
NB When Charles the great was crowned Emperor of the West, the People of Rome made this acclamation three times: Caralo Augusto A Deo coronato magno et pijssimo Imperator Romanorum via et victoria. And the people thereupon invoking God & the saints confirmed this title to him. And the title A Deo coronatus & divino numine coronatus was put into his Laws & Edicts.
