| Additional information |
The Juxon Medal commemorates William Juxon, Bishop of London, who attended Charles I on the scaffold at Whitehall on 30 January 1649 — reportedly the last person to speak privately with the king before his execution. Charles is said to have handed Juxon a small silver George, part of his Garter regalia, with the single word "Remember." Juxon kept the relic and wore it at Charles II's coronation in 1661, by which point he had been elevated to Archbishop of Canterbury.
The original medal was struck shortly after the Restoration as a commemorative piece tied directly to that exchange.
