George III gold Coronation Medal 1761 MS61 NGC, Royal mint, Eimer-694, BHM-22. By. L. Natter. Nearly as fine as this type comes, with brilliant green-gold toning highlights over glimmering reflectivity. Moderate handling, seen far more often than not on this issue, defines the grade, and a touch of highpoint granularity on George's bust is noted. The highest graded example of this immensely collectible official medal that we have sold, with a search of auction archives from other companies yielding few comparable examples that have sold over the past decade. In this most-desirable gold format, sure to be highly coveted by the medallic specialist. A total of 858 pieces were authorized to be struck in gold, but it is not certain that that many examples were struck.
