SIMON, THOMAS (c. 1623-1665)

This article appears in Volume V25, Page 131 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SHA-SIV
SIMON, THOMAS (c. 1623-1665) , English medallist, was born, according to
Vertue
 , in Yorkshire about 1623. He studied engraving under Nicholas Briot, and about 1635 received a post in connexion with the Mint. In 1645 he was appointed by the
parliament
 
joint
 
chief
  engraver along with
Edward
  Wade, and, having executed the
great
  seal of the Commonwealth and dies for the coinage, he was promoted to be
chief
  engraver to the mint and seals. He produced several fine portrait medals of Cromwell, one of which is copied from a miniature by Cooper. After the Restoration he was appointed engraver of the king's seals. On the occasion of his contest with the brothels Roettiers, who were employed by the mint in 1662, Simon produced his celebrated crown of Charles II., on the margin of which he engraved a
petition
  to the king. This is usually considered his masterpiece. He is believed to have died of the plague in London in 1665.
A volume of The Medals, Coins,
Great
  Seals and other Works of
Thomas
  Simon, engraved and described by George
Vertue
 , was published in 1753.
