COMMEMORATIVE MEDALS, BRITISH HISTORICAL MEDALS, The Marriage of the Prince of Wales and Caroline of Brunswick, Copper Medal, 1795, by C H Küchler, conjoined busts of the Prince of Wales and Princess Caroline right, he wearing Garter George on sash, she a plumed tiara, rev winged Hymen stands with torch supporting two shields, a distant panorama of London, JUNXIT HYMEN TAEDIS ILLUSTRIBUS AMBOS, 48mm (BHM 392; Eimer 865; Pollard 9). Minor edge bruise at 4 o'clock and scuffs, otherwise nearly extremely fine.
The Prince's marriage to Princess Caroline Amelia Elizabeth of Brunswick (1768-1821), took place in St James's Palace at 8.00pm on the 8 April 1795; Küchler's placing the date 1797 for 1795 on the medal, is a curious error.

Estimate: £150-250
