Commemorative Medals, British Medals, George, Prince of Wales and Caroline of Brunswick, Marriage, 1795, copper medal, dated 1797 in error, by C. H. Küchler, conjoined busts of the Prince of Wales and Princess Caroline r., 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 almost 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.
(180-220 GBP)
