Great Britain
George III gold Coronation Medal 1761 MS61 NGC, 34mm, 23.4g, Eimer-694, BHM-22. Essentially as fine as this type comes, being scarcely encountered particularly in higher grades and often somewhat shoddily produced. Vivid orange highlights frame the luxuriously rich aged-gold centers of this centrally-struck medal, George's high-relief portrait retaining full crisp detail. The reverse field is somewhat prooflike, and the devices shows remarkably little wear; Britannia's face, where the first signs of flatness are seen on this type, is near-complete. Indeed, this specimen appears better-preserved and more visually appealing than other MS61s we have offered in recent years. A wonderful golden testament to one of Britain's longest reigning monarchs. This same medal sold at our September 2011 Long Beach sale, realizing $8,050.
