during natter's two visits to england he was patronised by the royal family, and in 1741 made the medal "tribute to george ii". he was supported by sir edward walpole and by thomas hollis. he engraved two or three seals with the head of sir robert walpole, and produced a medal of him with a bust from john michael rysbrach's model, with on the reverse a statue of cicero with the legend, "regit dictis animos". this medal was engraved in "the medalist" (hawkins), with the legend altered to "regit nummis animos". natter, when at count moltke's table in denmark, mentioned this alteration, and some one suggested "regit nummis animos et nummis regitur ipse", a motto which was later engraved on the edge of some specimens of the medals, one of which went to the british museum. for hollis, natter engraved, for ten guineas, a seal with the head of britannia, and also a cameo of "britannia victrix", with a head of algernon sydney on the reverse. he also engraved a portrait of hollis in intaglio, and a head of socrates in green jasper which hollis presented to archbishop thomas secker in 1757.
