COINS AND HISTORICAL MEDALS FROM THE COLLECTION FORMED BY THE LATE REVD. CHARLES CAMPBELL
WORLD HISTORICAL MEDALS, World Historical Medals, MALTA, Gregory Carafa, a cast bronze medal, unsigned [perhaps for C. Carafa], cuirassed bust three-quarters left, rev. arms of the Grand Master and the Order surmounted by an angel and coronet, head of a monster below, 47mm (Schembri p.205, 1; cf. LHS Auktion 99, 165). Very fine and extremely rare; pierced for suspension
£800-1,000
---
Provenance: SNC June 1938 (M8).
This piece appears to show the same diagnostics and edge irregularities as Schembri's own example (plate 11, no.1); Schembri's collection was sold by Ratto in Lugano in April 1932 and it seems probable that this is the same piece
