George Bower (-1690)

"George Bower (or Bowers) (fl. 1664–1689), was a medallist to King Charles II, James II and William III, and an engraver to the Royal Mint.

Although his work displays considerable skill it is inferior in finish and execution to that of the Roettiers, well-known medallists of the same period. The most interesting of Bower's medals may be the specimen struck to commemorate the acquittal of the Earl of Shaftesbury of high treason. It has a bust of the earl on the obverse; on the reverse is the legend "Lætamur, 24 Nov. 1681", and a view of London with the sun bursting from behind a cloud." - (en.wikipedia.org 12.08.2021)
