Victoria gold Coronation Medal 1838 MS61 NGC, BHM-1801, Eimer-1315. By B. Pistrucci. Incredibly high relief and of a great beauty, this masterful engraving in gold by Pistrucci combines elements from some of the most celebrated coins of the British series: the reverse depicting young Victoria seated on her throne beside a lion, being presented the crown by Britannia, Hibernia and Scotia, the 'three graces' with arms around one another. On the obverse, we see the sculptured likeness of the 19-year old Victoria rendered proudly from the reflective fields behind. Exhibiting some hairlines and marks to the fields but not to a distracting extent, this premium offering is truly one for the collector of elite British medals, or indeed the Victorian series as a whole.
From the Collection of A Scottish Gentleman
