Great Britain. Death and Memorial Medal, 1649. Eimer-158; MI-volume 1, 341/190. Silver. 30 mm. By R.Rawlins. Dated 1648, in the old style. Charles I, 1625-1649. Obverse; Armoured and draped bust of King left. Reverse; Island rock buffeted by a severe storm. Pristine mint state with superb dark blue toning over mirror fields. Much finer than the Eimer catalogue plate coin, and presumed to be the finest known specimen. This medal appears to be struck on a slightly heavier (piedfort) flan than usual (approximately 10 grams) and is probably an early striking or presentation piece. Excessively rare in this condition. NGC graded MS-64 Gold Wings. Estimated Value $1,500 - 1,800
