British Medals, William & Mary, Coronation 1689, copper medal, by Jan Smeltzing, armoured bust of William III r., WILHEL III DG MAG BRIT FRAN ET HIB REX, rev. the King in Coronation robes kneels atop the globe, looking to the eye of Providence, DEO JUDICE, 58mm. (MI.670/41; cf. vL.III, 386), as struck, but from lightly rust-marked dies, extremely fine and extremely rare
*bt. B. A. Seaby, 1986
MI does not record the medal in copper, however a few examples have been noted (cf. 'English Collector', Glendining's, 16 March 1989, lot 319. MI. records that the obverse is of a type first used in 1693, so suggesting that the medal was struck in or post that year. This in no way diminishes the medal's extreme rarity.
(350-500 GBP)
