GREAT BRITAIN. Gold Medal, 1908. NGC MS-65.
22.96 gms. BHM-3960 var.; Eimer-1903 var. Personifications of Britain and France seated facing one another, angel standing behind holds laurel cluster and encourages peace; Reverse: Draped female figure stands at left holding laurel and regards plaque below, exhibition buildings in distance. The plaque is stamped, "MORRIS & BOLTON LTD LONDON E.C". Edge is marked with two privy stamps and the word "OR". An interesting piece given that neither the BHM nor Eimer references note a gold medal being issued in this size. Eimer does state that the souvenir catalog of the exhibition mentions awards of this small diameter but, "no example has been noted." A very attractive little medal with sensational artistic qualities. Matte finish with no marks. Includes a red plush fitted leather case of issue from Messrs Vaughton of Birmingham which, sadly, is not as nice as the medal. NGC MS-65.
Estimate: $1500.00- $2000.00
