Haile Selassie gold Matte Proof Coronation Medal EE 1923 (1930) PR66 NGC, Paris mint, Gill-S11. 42mm/44.3g. By M. Delannoy. Fully engaging, this broad coronation medal presents the crowned jugate busts of Haile Selassie and his wife Waizero Menen. The satin-textured surfaces are drenched in saffron color, accented by coppery tone that clings to the devices, and the reverse trilobe design is sharply-struck and aesthetically pleasing. Very rare, visually captivating, and with original attached loupe and ribbon. Ex. Lawrence Adams Collection
