GREAT BRITAIN. Sovereign Gold Medal, 1950. EXTREMELY FINE.
Encased Gold Sovereign Awarded to The King Of Sports. 39 x 32.6 mm; 16.2 grams. This enigmatic piece features a 1925 gold Sovereign of George V encased in a gold frame inscribed KING OF SPORTS INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATED / 1950 / WBDM. The reverse of the encasement, except for a design of radiating lines, is blank. A hanger, which at one time had a ribbon attached, is mounted at the top. A quick internet search revealed nothing pertinent about the WBDM acronym or the King of Sports International Associated. Learning more about this piece should give the next owner an interesting challenge! EXTREMELY FINE.
Estimate: $350.00- $500.00
