Who was Norbert Roettiers?
Norbert Roettiers was a celebrated Flanders-born engraver of currency and medals in both England and France. With his elder brother James he was named Engraver-General to the British Royal Mint in 1695.
Roettiers was born in Antwerp, the third son of John Roettiers, and a member of an illustrious family of engravers, goldsmiths, and silversmiths, including his brother James Roettiers; cousin Joseph-Charles Roettiers; son Jacques Roettiers, also known as James; and grandson Jacques-Nicolas Roettiers.
He was employed in the British Royal Mint from about 1684 onwards, and in 1690 was officially the given post of assistant engraver. He was a strong Jacobite and left England about 1695 to attach himself to the Stuart court. He was later appointed engraver-general to the French mint, and died at his country seat in France.
