George II gold Coronation Medal 1727 MS62 NGC, 34.6mm, 22.9g, Eimer-510, MI-479-4. By J. Croker. A lustrous and well-preserved example of the official issue, produced in remarkably high-relief and to a high standard. Besides the usual die-polish lines present in the fields, this large gold specimen clearly has encountered very little handling since its production 291 years ago. Likely one of the best extant. This same medal sold at our September 2011 Long Beach sale realizing $6,900, and the market has grown significantly since then; accordingly we expect a bidder response proportionate to the eye-appeal, rarity and superb preservation of this coronation medal.
From the Collection of A Scottish Gentleman
