Commemorative Medals, British, Horatio, Admiral Lord Nelson (1758-1805), Boulton's Trafalgar Medal [1805], by C H Küchler, uniface silver re-strike (or re-working) of the uniformed bust to l., without legend, rev. blank with hallmarks at compass points, 48.5mm (Hardy 41; cf BHM 584; Eimer 960; MH 496), Sheffield Hallmark, 1930, maker HA [Atkin Brothers], extremely fine and toned
Atkin Brothers was in business from 1853 until 1958 when they were taken over by C J Vander Ltd. Most accounts of the Trafalgar Medal seem to ignore this piece from which the cataloguers concur that it must be quite rare. It is sold with a single Soho Mint shell. Hardy, "Remember Nelson", London, 2005, states of the example he lists, "This is probably a unique and interesting piece by a well known and recorded silversmith".
